[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 1733930, member: 468755"] Hi Lucy, I think [USER=191134]@paulus1[/USER] is saying there is a difference between struggling to cope and unable to cope, "real need" to use his term. And I completely agree with you[I] its shocking [/I]that its not until someone falls of the edge, into [B]unable to cope[/B] that help can be provided. But I think you would agree that taking away the support from some who is unable to cope is not the solution, and as Paul says that's the only option available to the NHS. It's not lack of sensitivity to anyone who is struggling and in need of help. I believe the original post by [USER=444241]@h4kr[/USER] is right on the money, that[I] something attune to grief counselling is needed[/I]. I read a post on here today and it was clear the poster who had just been diagnosed considered it a death sentence.They are clearly in need of support. But isn't that why were here giving up our time to offer that support where we can. When I joined it was to ask a question to help me. I never imagined I would find myself offering support to others. :bag: [/QUOTE]
