I'm tired of not having any time for me and I have no one to say that to. If I say it to anyone in my family I get well this is what you wanted. We told you to put her in the nursing home. If I ask my brother for help his response is I'm being selfish. I need a weekend, just one weekend with out pee in the floor and wet clothes in the washing basket.

My mum is freaking out. She just realised that she lives with me and said I have been lying to her and that I didn’t tell her that I moved here 1 1/2 years ago. She moved in here 2 months ago. I’m trying to be patient.

The state of psychiatric care within the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges, with reports of 'collapsing' services amid unsafe conditions, mixed wards, bed shortages, and inadequate safeguarding measures. These critical issues compromise patient safety and well-being, highlighting an urgent need for systemic reform and increased support.
