Compassionate, timely, non coercive responses

@EternalFlower Is it just a wall picture. I have seen some with a massage chair and funky furniture. Sadly I have visited a lot in last few years. Sometimes there is music.

hi @Appleblossom it is a digital image and you can change it and choose one you like, it has nice music in the background, and it moves and changes, so you can pick up little details in the image, like a butterfly flying accross the image or a leaf blowing.

Unfortunately for me a man perched in the sensory room and woudln't leave (rule is one at a time) so i got very little time there

staff should've been a bit nicer to ensure I also gotto use it - but staff could care less about my existence nor life.

Sad, that the staff didn’t manage things for all to have access @EternalFlower

I spoke briefly, socially, with a psych nurse at a party yesterday. She was daughter of my friend/ex student. I know she cares, but it was not the time to speak all the issues…

I often feel nobody cares if I am alive. It is hard.

i think it's excellent that you have contacts in the mental health field. Was the psych nurse involved in public care? It is a hard job but i've had an excellent male psych nurse as my case manager - I still miss him and wander about him.

@Appleblossom sending solidarity

it's been a long time that i felt someone didn't care- and worse - i feel people let me down and care more about themselves and their agenda- they aren't genuine.

Tbh… @EternalFlower the main way I have survived with any sense of belief in goodness in the world is to keep remembering the good moments, even if they were fleeting. Regardless of whether it was from family, friends, people in my various workplaces, local small shopping centre, churches, paid services or random passers by. I have to be honest about the struggles though. She was in a Regional metro health service.
