The Harry and Meghan fuss

Well let me explain.
I have young people that I am in contact with as part of my job. I know you know this. Many have mental health problems.
I'll give you one example; a 20 year old girl who worked for 18 months as a care worker until Summer last year. She has no mother at home, only her dad. No siblings either. She left her job because of anxiety, with no idea as to what triggered it.
She has gone rapidly downhill since and is declaring fit notes. It has got to the point where she completely stresses if I book a phone appointment with her, even if it's just once a month and purely to see how she is. Just a chat and to touch base.
So now I need to try and get round that and try to encourage her to engage in some kind of medical help. Anything, rather than leaving her as she is.
Do I worry about her? Of course. To the point I bring work home with me (in my head at least). But it's my job so I will try and do my best for her.

And that is just one example. Of many.

I'm pretty sure my own mental health isn't helped by visiting and posting on threads like this, as I get annoyed at people who have no idea how everyone else who suffer similar, but with no money, nobody to emotionally support them, nothing to look forward to and life being incredibly shit, actually exist and cope.

That's what caused my nuclear reaction last night.

The "all consuming" comment was because I have mental health issues (big time) in my family (my half sister regularly goes missing), my work means I deal with it a lot of the time and, also, it's on the television for the rest of it.

Just wanted to put any misconceptions right.
Thanks and fair enough
 
Looks as though all this has ended up costing Piers Morgan his job as well now. Ah well.
