pants are falling down, or someone who’s barking like a dog
Finally have a party support mental health funding. All 3 main England parties have turned to promise it Including the Tories. But cut it when in power.
I agree, but I don’t know how much you can help these people to the point that they don’t do those things at all.
They’re people who will always have unusual behaviour and use the bus. And as selfish as it may sound and despite wanting them to get the help they need, it’s uncomfortable to be around.
Before the 1980s tory cuts there was hospital housing. Including full time RMN nursing ( my parents job before retirement.) The tories care in the community approach was just a community approach with no funding for care.
There’s also that they might be sane enough in the moment to refuse treatment but not sane enough long term to improve, stop, or be aware that they’re causing that much of a problem.
[Proofreading edit: The following is mostly me working through some stuff, but it might still be relevant? It’s certainly apt if it’s some guy rambling about something and nothing and disturbing people though.]
I say this as someone currently with agoraphobia, and bus-phobia, which, yes, is the exact opposite of a problem passenger (can’t be a problem if you’re not on the bus), but I can easily see myself in their shoes. In fact that might be part of the bus-phobia. Force me onto a bus and I don’t know how I’ll react. I don’t want to be that guy.
Also, I’ve kind of lost confidence in treatment, which I’m well aware isn’t going to help any kind of therapy to work. (Also, I’d have to go somewhere where the therapy is, because I don’t want people in my house.)

Yeah, I get it. Only by forcing myself into uncomfortable situations am I going to be able to beat this.
So, I’m already screwed because that ain’t happening.
