Finishing the story

[matthew55]

I am seriously considering taking my own life as I have discovered that if you need help and no one understands you, the question becomes 'why should I continue living as an ignored person'? Would you?

[Bowler]

Matthew, hang on in there mate. I’ve messaged MNDA asking if they can help you in the situation you are in. You can boxxock me later

[matthew55]

Good luck with that they don't like me much

[matthew55]

Has anyone tried to to tell a hospital consultant that they have made an incorrect decision?

[House44]

Hi Mathew we need you on this forum my friend. You make me laugh with your straight down the line approach. If I could I’d like to talk to u in private?

[matthew55]

Talking is the last thing I want

[House44]

Ok Mathew whenever your ready pal 👍🏻

[Ellie]

Have you tried involving Patient Liaison (PALS)?

You could 'accept' things as they are now and go home, take it from there? xx

[matthew55]

I am at home they were happy to get rid of me. I have a meeting with the incompetent consultant tomorrow pm

[matthew55]

Try involving anyone on a Sunday

Matthew, I understand your thoughts of wanting to end it all. Under the circumstances I think it’s not surprising. I have also had those thoughts at times, but something has stopped me. I don’t think I’m brave enough to take that step. I hope you won’t be too brave either. Remember, you are more than MND. With love , Lizzie xx

The thing that would stop me is recognising the carnage and grief I would leave behind. I couldn't do that to the people left behind. I am speaking from experience I still question myself whether I could have changed their decision and it haunts me. I wouldn't have the courage but I do understand because when I have bad spells I can understand why people have dark thoughts.

I am glad that you are home x Sarah xx
