The following content has been hidden - Reason : SI trigger

But some have been lovely, and I have always been offered local anaesthetic and haven't experienced any outward nastiness, for which I am grateful. It did always seem though like they wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. Despite being clearly unwell in number of ways, I was never asked if I was receiving any support or treatment, and I never saw a mental health worker.

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
