  • She was a great friend, with an unfortunate circumstance. If you ever, within your lifetime, become well acquainted with someone who has either schizophrenia or psychosis, remember the person underneath the struggle as they face a constant battle in their heads. I hope mental health support gets better, and it is, however in my experience there is little support for the lasting effects of abuse as it’s mostly surface level things - my local NHS hospital has claimed there is no specialist for CPTSD in my area of London, at all (and not everyone is in the position to pay out of pocket, especially when my friend was already staying at sheltered accommodation).

    Many issues in society can be fixed with proper mental health support, I’m just hoping that gets here soon.

    Used to with friends who are no longer with us.

    The folks I would do this with, hang out at a spot frequently, have either moved away or died.
    It’s been very hard to get to that point again, however Cannabis communities, particularly in Amsterdam, have really been a help at socialising and making friends. I’ve made more friends there since last year than I have for several years prior.
    Folks are always up for a coffee and a toke!
