Self-Forgiveness

Share Story to Support

Written By: Jamier C

Sending love to the version of myself
that felt lost, misguided and didn’t
know any better. I deserve grace
through all stages of my life.

“In January 2022, I began struggling with the wo

“In January 2022, I began struggling with the worst depressive episode I had ever experienced and became very suicidal. During a crisis feeling the urge to act on my suicide plan, I turned to the place that is supposed to provide support only to be turned away and told, “I am not sure what else there is to do for you.”

After trying to investigate my remaining options after learning the psychiatric wards at other hospitals were full, the only other option appeared to be a stay at a private facility that would cost over $20000, which was not financially possible.

I was told I was one of the lucky ones as I had a psychiatrist in a city with looming waitlists. I did not feel lucky at all as I felt my pain had surpassed suffering, but it also made my heartbreak for those in similar situations without any supports at all. If I feel that I am hanging on by a thread, what is keeping those alone in their struggles from taking their lives? This was the point at which I was able to identify the deadly and devastating cracks in the mental health care system.

Over the past 3 months, I have been forced to face the reality of what the emergency room can provide for mental health crises – not a lot. Mental health crises fall on a spectrum and the level of distress will differ from person to person.

I feel I have fallen through the cracks of the system as I am not “bad enough” to be admitted to the hospital ward but need more support than outpatient can provide. At a speaking event an audience member asked me, “where do you hope to see mental health treatment in 5 years?”

My answer is simple: more levels of care."
