The What's Pi$$Ing You Off Thread

that sh*t worries me^^^ very very rately happens at random here. theres like a 90% chance he knew whoever did it.

still an absolute dog act... doesnt excuse anything at all. sad people can just do that to another human

[hawlass]

Yep, the coward was a family friend apparently- some friend.

When he (32 y.o. ) had killed the 78 y.o. good bloke he then went down the road to the victims daughters place and told her what he'd done, at which point she called the cops who arrested and charged him.

 

So angry some scumbag can end the life of a true good bugger so easily

wtf us wrong with people aye.

someone did a very similar thing to a lady we loosely know here... except caved her head in with a baseball bat. she was allrpund amazing lady... like 80 years old. still havent srrested anyone I dont think but they know its a family member, they just dont have enough evidence.

WTF????

Was he a Meth head or something?. That just destroys your faith in humanity hey.

And here's me thinking Monday traffic pisses me off. Just re-adjusted my perspective today that story did.

Heard from someone who knows the killers mum, apparently he is bi-polar and schizophrenic, was doing well but stopped taking his meds.

Although I've never had dealings with heavy duty mental illness , it just seems a recipe for disaster to have people suffering with these conditions being left to self medicate unsupervised.

 

Flufferick , these kinds of cases seem all to frequent ,I remember a similar case a couple of years ago when a bloke stopped taking his meds and then caved his flatmates head in while he slept. The district nurses were visiting him but it wasn't picked up in time.

 

Buggered if I know what the solution is , just know it sucks hairy balls loosing good people , always seems to be good sorts being the victims , why cant they go nuckin futs and end a few rapists/pedos instead?

First of all let me start with saying I am sorry to hear about this situation happening at all, let alone close to home for someone on here and please do not take this as a personal attack, I know the internet has a way of portraying things the wrong way. As a Mental Health Worker I would just like to share some facts.

 

Incidents (any of) involving a person living with any form of mental health issue is unfortunately a favourite term for the media to drop and put a label on if they happen, which is rarely, so are publicised.

 

As an ex prison officer also, I can tell you the majority (major) of people I came in contact with who had murdered someone was not diagnosed with a mental health issue before or after the fact.

 

Saying it happens all too often is harsh and those who struggle to live with severe ongoing Mental Health Issues unfortunately live to wear the label. Fact is, people living with a mental health issue are way more likely to harm themselves than others.

 

It is unfortunate that this is the case in this particular incident and again, I am sorry that this has happened so close to home.

 

I guess having a passion for working with people in the community who are trying hard to better their lives gets the better of me when I read negative things about it.

[hawlass]

I intend no insult to anyone suffering with a mental condition, apologies if that's how it read.

As I said, buggered if I know what the solution is ( obviously with so many differing conditions , there is no silver bullet to solve all the issues)  but I know mental health workers like yourself who deal with these issues every day are the unsung heroes and a vital part to the sufferers ongoing wellbeing . Its something I couldn't do.

Kudos to you.

 

My daughter is working towards a bachelor of social work degree , she too has a massive heart and compassion for those in need, a very honourable profession,  just needs an honourable pay scale.

 

 

 

[FGMKII]

My pay rate pisses me off. I don't do it for the money.

 

It didn't read as if you were being disrespectful, just work mode kicks in and I know how easy it is for other people who may read it to run with the negatives.

 

Thoughts are with you mate.

Im torn on this subject... I spent quite a time working in the elderly mental health sector with dementia patients and patients with bipolar and depression etc... its easier when theyre older in a way as they become less capable of hurting themselves or others with success, however it doesnt make it any less sad or awful to see.

I think the biggest problem is the governments lack of funding and support of our mental health system.

as a society were becoming more aware of things like depression and anxiety etc and we are more likely to say something to a friend of family than ever before... but then what? ... There needs to be a better support network for the chronicaly mentally ill and also the people who are newly diagnosed.

Sadly I know a lot of cases where someone suffering a mental illness has hurt another family member (both physically or psychologically) but not enough for them to be taken into care or something be done. (a forum member recently went through this again I believe).

This isnt just about the physical side effects of people hurting others but so often about the damage it does within families relationships and family memvers or friends own mental health.

Then you have the amazing staff who are over worked and under paid and have one of the hardest professions there is. Wheres the support for them?


Paramedics and mental health workers are two of the most underappreciated and abused careers in the work place currently and neither seem to get much support from the government or a big chunk of the community tbh.

It makes my blood boil
