What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
The one luxury in my life that I can’t live without is my private health insurance. It means that when I become mentally unwell that I can stay at the hospital where my psychiatrist is based. The private hospital system here is a million times better than any public hospital system. Staying in a a private hospital gives me peace of mind 😌 and a feeling of safety that I have never experienced in the public system. I guess I pay for that quality of care, and yes, it is the one luxury I can’t live without and is money well spent.

Kaye's Life and other gems 
I have a friend who is very unwell. She is schizophrenic and years living in public psychiatric hospitals haven’t helped her. She’s now in a care home for people who can’t live alone and she’s a little bit better but she’s never gotten much better under NHS care. I am grateful that my mental illness has never been severe enough for me to end up in NHS psychiatric hospitals. I have depression, anxiety and panic attacks which are bad enough. There for the grace of gods and all of that.

Thank you for sharing about your freind and yourself. I too have schizophrenia and after years of feeling terrified in the l public hospitals I value the quality of care and peace of mind that beibg in a private hospital brings. It is money well spent for my peace of mind.
Take care and God bless you 🙏🏽 ❤️ ♥️

Sadly my friend Tasha won’t accept that she’s schizophrenic. She frequently rings me and says she’s been misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. She hears voices but she thinks she’s psychic. She thinks the voices are telepathic communications from other people 😞 It’s a sad situation and I can’t really help her because she won’t accept she’s mentally unwell. It’s very obvious to everyone else that she is very unwell though. I wish she could get better but it’s unlikely to happen unless she accepts that she is schizophrenic though.

Thank you for sharing about your friend. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏽. I am fortunate because I accept my illness and willingly accept help. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I didn’t accept that I am unwell at times. Your friends story is sad but it’s not uncommon for people to lack insight about their condition. I will pray 🙏🏽 that you both do well. It sounds like you are a true friend.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones song The Impression That I Get makes me think of my friend Tasha because there but for the grace of god go I. I know another man who is schizophrenic but he started off just having depression. I have depression but it’s never developed into a major mental illness.
