Hey there all :)
This is a question for anybody who uses mental health services really!
(This is not for a survey or anything, it's just been plaguing my mind recently)

I'm currently on a mental health placement (I'm a student MH nurse) in a ward in England, and I was wondering, how do you guys feel about someone my age aiding your care?
I'm 20 years old, so maybe I'm a bit older/same age/younger than you, I was just curious;
Do you ever find it patronising? Or more helpful to talk to someone your own age? Frustrating? Easier? Etc.
