BDBD EP5 – How Andy Saved Wil Via Talking
In this episode, we look at what happens in times when you feel that you’re not getting the help you need in the mental health ‘system’, and how there is potentially a postcode lottery in the NHS when it comes to mental health support in England. We look back at what happened with Wil when he last felt ‘hopeless’, and how a simple phone call potentially saved him from the brink.
Not only does Andy manage to talk for more than a minute at a time, he actually holds a pretty substantial part of the conversation! Andy reflects on how not every piece of outpatient support is ‘useful’, especially when it comes to CPNs and their own personal ‘miracles’. Wil reminisces about managing to stumble across an entire hospital to get Andy a can of Pepsi, whilst barely being able to make it to the toilet un-aided, all whilst wearing jeans about 4 sizes too big.
