“I didn’t feel safe amongst the other people there and being gay… and isolated, it heightened my anxiety.”

They don't take people with anxiety and depression seriously and he kept on fighting for survival because he was in a dark place back then he was in pain every single day

I just went through that I spent four years in the shelter system with my children and I feel like I got pause poem stress disorder from being in the shelter system for such a long time if I messed up on my words I feel like I got really affected by the system for being there too long and now I find it hard to still kind of function because it traumatized me any kind of ties my children and I don't know how to feel normal right now I still feel like in fear that I'm going to end up homeless again with my kids and I'm scared because I love my kids so much

I really hope this is a real story as it concerns me that mind have done made this video as a damage limitation exercise to fabricate the terrible levels of homophobia that exist in many of minds offices which have been projected by staff and clients who are lgbt phobic ... also in my case I not only experienced that at mind but racism . I stopped going to mind in 2016 as my concerns and issues were totally disregarded and I descended into far worse depression due to the racism and homophobia at the Bradford mind . Also I am wondering why mind has erased a number if comments here that lgbt people have put complaining about mind never addressing their complaints . It’s so often the case the primary victim who becomes the primary perpetrator
