So today I was going to start something that was (hopefully) going to get me on the road to feeling better, more able to cope with the world and happy good stuff like that. It was a day program at the Mental Health Clinic that had been running since 1957! My step mother went to it 20 years ago, that's how established it was. I was all worried about what it would entail, what I would have to go thru, what were the staff and other patients going to be like.

I shouldn't have bothered.

This morning, the morning of the day I went in for the orientation, the program director was informed that the full time program would be cut.

Now I don't know if it was just the Frasier Health Authority or the polititians, and quite frankly, I don't care. All I know is that if I find out who did it, I'm going to park my butt in front of their driveway and I'm not moving until. . . well I don't know when, probably until they have me arrested. If I didn't have the family support that I do, I would be out on the street. I can only imagine the lives ruined by the indifference of the healthy.

I ask any who live in the Lower Mainland and may possibly care, email your MP and ask them to really think about the mentally ill. We are parents, wives, sons and friends of everyone, and our health effects the lives of those around us.
