  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

A friend pressganged me into calling Maytree (https://www.maytree.org.uk/). I've never been on a mental health ward and I desperately dont want to! This place is described as 'non-clinical' and a 'respite centre' - to me it sounds very much like a place where I get sent against my will so other people dont have to worry about me killing myself.

They wont be able to do anything for me, and I cant see how it would make me feel any better. I can only imagine feeling worse. I can picture people talking to me like I have leprosy or something, and a whole torrent of empty platitudes about life being precious or some other bullshit. Plus I cant help but feel like its some kind of scam or a front for religious nonsense.

Anyone heard of it, or maybe even been there? Anyone been to a similar refuge type place?

I know a member here has good reviews for this institution. So much so that she asked me to donate to them. This member sporadically logs on this website so I'll pm her to respond on this thread. Never hesitate in trying out something new. You never know what wonders it may do. If you don't feel good you can always walk out. After all, an old established facility like this is professionally operated. They aren't a bunch of amateur anti-suicide squad.

Thanks. I'm not sure how to feel. I can't imagine a few days of talking to volunteers making much of a difference.
