Campaign Story
I am campaigning for the private mental health care I am in desperate need of. Since my best friend took her own life a year ago, my mental health has deteriorated to breaking point with complicated grief, suicidal ideation and at least two attempts, major depressive disorder, intense anxiety, increased self-harm and psychosis along with symptoms of PTSD and personality disorder.
Mental health resources are incredibly limited. The mental health team agree that admittance to a psychiatric ward is not suitable for my needs and yet there is next to no chance of me being granted funding for treatment out of area- The Priory, for example, where I could receive inpatient or outpatient treatment specific to trauma. I have ended up in A&E repeatedly with suicidal intent and self-harm; I don't know what else I need to do in order for them to consider me a 'special case' in desperate need of funding for the conditions I am struggling with.
It is incredibly difficult for me to believe that I am worthy of any kind of funding/donations. I may not be worth it, but maybe life is. At breaking point, I have nothing to lose.
I hope my own campaign helps to at least spread more awareness on the behalf of so many others who are desperate for help but whose cries and pleas remain unheard.
Thank you.

Hi Heather, having worked in the NHS all of my adult life I really do understand your frustration with the lack of quality mental health provision and the impact it has had on your life. You have to try everything you possibly can to access appropriate care and hopefully this campaign may help you on that difficult journey. Just remember so many people care about you and you need to learn to care about yourself too, you are the most important person in your life and must value your place in this world. Your future matters.

Hi Heather, I believe in miracles Heather, and I believe in being blessed. I believe when we ask for help, that the universe responds, and there are so many incredibly good people who want to connect with you and help you as you take the next step into finding and creating meaning and peace. All of the right people are going to be there, and all of the right things are going to make sense. And when you are able, you will learn something very valuable that you can use to help others, just exactly the same way that others are responding and reaching out to you right now. We have all been tried by trials and tribulations. And, we have endured, and we traveled our sacred path, that leads to the greatest journey of heart. Life is very precious Heather, and once you get a little farther into your sacred path, you will understand and you will have a wealth of wisdom and compassion for others to draw from. In kindness and in light, Kathi Kloeckner
