i'm good at looking normal, and being normal, but at the base level, i'm just, you know, istruggle to in the coffee shop, which is also birkenhead's mental health crisis centre. so when people are just finding something to fidget with, they are there. they can help, can't they? they really can. i'm meeting roxy. i have come straight from a&e, i haven't had a positive experience there. i was discharged after quite a serious overdose. listening to roxy and to others here... do you want to come upstairs? ..it feels like conventional mental health services are stretched to breaking point, and i'm thinking that's why the nhs has decided to fund this place. already in its first six months, it has seen more than 300 people. this is probably the singularly most substantial help that i've had my whole life, and it is not even... it's not clinical, it's not, "ok, this is how you deal with your problems". it's, "ok, how can we guide you through it?" you know, setting small goals that might not even seem like a goal. i don't think i would have made it past that night of being in a&e for a second
