Mental Health: The True Cost of Living
Nearly a third of people say they feel more depressed about the rising cost of living than they did six months ago, a Sky News poll reveals.
As households face squeezed budgets and with the government under pressure to tackle Britain's worsening cost-of-living crisis, we asked people how it was affecting them and their families.
If you're affected by any of the issues raised in this report, the Samaritans are available 24 hours a day on 116 123 or by email at jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK

The longer this cost of living crisis continues, the more people are going to die from mental illness. As someone who has struggled with mental health, my heart goes out to all those who are not able to cope at the moment.
It's really bad. Like really beyond control now. Maybe it's a good thing we go to war. At least we will get a ration pack. Cos I wouldn't misbehave and go to jail.but thefts must be going through the roof now. The authorities will be powerless to stop anarchy once it kicks off big time..and it will soon.
Culling the numbers 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
The government as a whole needs to go. None of us are living life. We're just slaves for taxes. The system doesn't care for the people. It cares for profit. It's time to change the way they want us to simply exsist, it's time for action.. rise people!!! Stay vocal.
@Keith Barry they are making protesting illegal
POLL TAX RIOTS did for that witch Thatcher, if only the current generation would put their iPhones, PS5’s and Social Media etc to one side and rise up. This current Gov’t is the worst Ive seen in my lifetime, theyre literally rubbing your noses in it day after day. Get them gone!!!!!!!
@Keith Barry it'll happen eventually.
If only people didn;t love their servitude
Yeah, without government society will collapse in hours. See 2011 London riots
I earn a decent amount and even I'm struggling, I've had days of crushing depression! I can't even fathom how people hard up are coping. Something needs to be done or the government are going to face some serious repercussions.
I think at this point the government are expecting and don't care about the repercussions. Clearly the confidence vote Boris norrowly won shows their opinions.
@Keith Barry there may be one soon
@Keith Barry that's probably a likely scenario, eventually people are going to feel like they've got nothing left to lose.
@@melgrant7404 Any uprising will be quickly quashed. Look at news footage from the protests that have occurred in the last 3 years and one will notice almost a militia, mercenary approach to protesters and freezing of bank accounts (as Trudeau implented with the Canadian truckers). The West is hurtling towards totalitarianism.
My expectation is that before an uprising, these people will just give up, quit. Lethargic. Likely, many have already done so. For a riot one needs energy and some anger.
I work full time and do overtime. By week three, all my money has gone on bills, fuel and minimal food. I have a week of no money. There is nothing in the budget to go for a coffee with a friend or to drive a distance to see family. It s causing so much social isolation. This really screwing with people's mental health.
Last week before payday is the worst
It really feels like our government is trying to off us! So many of us are literally working for NOTHING and it feels hopeless
Do u get paid for overwork if not then don't do it?
the mental health services in this country are disgusting. there is an average time of 6 months just to get a mental health assessment. Its appauling. I am currently in the NHS mental health service and I have witnessed so many cutbacks. When I was suicidal, I call NHS 111 and they told me to speak to the samaritans
I suffer from Asperger's and BPD and I haven't gotten any help for the last 25 years. I'm 35 now and i feel the mental health services in this country are pathetically appalling
Same. I even ended up in hospital due to having a nervous breakdown and im still not getting any help
It’s not even down to improving the services, it’s more to combat it in the first place which everyone seems to think it’s some kinda of virus that’s contracted when it’s something as simple as societal problems. Societal problems being the fear mongering news (like the one we’re commenting on and pretending to care), failing education system and just damn straight lack of compassion for each other with our peers with everything being conditional. They want this mental health crisis, it can weaken our population and makes us less powerful to combat a corrupt government like the one we have now.
I mean people overlook the first step, why people are having mental problems in the first place and go straight to “how can we improve mental health services”. Yeah let’s get it overwhelmed and put more people on drugs opposed to narrowing down factors such as cost of living, social media and toxic media such as the news.
It kills people. KZhead has done more for me than the NHS over 30yrs🤬
I run my own business and work a second full time job, my partner works full time in NHS mental health services. We spent the last 8 years saving every penny never gone on a holiday or had any free time and still can't afford to buy a house to start a family together. I feel so angry, lost and hopeless inside I wouldn't wish this life on my worst enemy, I struggle to see what the point of my life is. One of these days I wouldn't be surprised if I just collapsed and died from stress and exhaustion, every day is a battle to keep living.
Stay strong

So these are some of the workers that the Government says "don't ask for better pay" . While accepting a £ 2,000 increase to their own pay to £84,000 plus expenses including fuel, energy, food and travel

Exactly and then have the nerve to tell us to work harder and longer 🤬🤬🤬
Being "stuck" is something many many people have to deal with. There are many different forms of it. A little kindness could change a lot. It's also worth noting that "stuck" people need external help, otherwise they wouldn't be "stuck".

This is the reality of modern living, we are being bombarded with advertisements, and constantly everything breaks of is outdated. The world needs to stay a step back, slow down with technological advances and concerntrate on providing fresh food and free power. Governments are so far removed from reality now, it's outdated. We need smaller localised governments who have complete control over their constituency, and allow diversity in how people choose to live.
That's not great for the economy though. And how are the top 1% supposed to get richer and more powerful if the rest of us don't buy stuff?
So stop making new tech, stop innovation. This will grind the economy to a halt over a short period of time.

They would die laughing...
I was told by an NHS psychiatrist that there simply is no help for me. The kind of therapy I require is long term and just not funded within the NHS As far as I’m concerned there is no NHS for me or people with similar problems and diagnosis. Was literally told…there’s nothing we can do.
I had the same thing around 6 years ago. I was also told it was my own fault I struggle with depression.
That’s just entirely ridiculous! It’s true that this System needs complete revamping!
@George Washington the Royal family has been English for generations, don't attempt to use xenophobia to take a jab at the monarchy.
I speak to people that work as mental health councillors outside of their profession. Like being at the pub and get chatting and I really think sometimes how desperate the service must be to hire these people. They want counselling themselves some of them and they have barely any qualifications. It’s like now they’ve resorted to hiring people who have no direction in life so they’ve settled as a mental health councillor.
Same they only offer 6 weeks of free therapy for minor level anxiety and depression, they do absolutely nothing for anyone with more serious problems that would require more than 6 sessions

Highly rich, privately educated people that are all seriously stuck in a rich man's world and genuinely so far fetched from any form of reality for an average person in the uk right now trying to run things is what has become very obvious.
Asking for help from the government is like giving yourself a blood transfusion from one arm to the other and spilling half in the process. When the currency goes to its intrinsic value, the show gets real.

This should not be happing in the UK 2022, hearts go out to all suffering.
Our government can help. But they won’t. Won’t reduce taxation. Scrap green taxes on energy. Vat. Etc etc. but. They’ve got millions of our money to give to housing illegals every day. And billions to throw at Ukraine. Utter madness.
Rather than getting angry at refugees who have it even harder than we do, why not get angry at the government who focus on tax cuts for the rich and corrupt contracts worth billions to their donors?
Money spent on *people* is money well spent. Whether they're migrants or abroad. Money spent that ends up in Tory donor pockets and corrupt business lobby groups is NOT well spent. Make sure your frustration is pointed in the right direction, and don't follow the line they draw between costs and people. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the money they give to their pals.

Rang an ambulance last year was in a really bad way mentally. It turned up 16 hours later the next day.
A and E is terrible for mental health
Mates mum had a heart attack the ambulance didn't turn up for 8 hours
Awww, would a nice ride in an ambulance sort your head out? What about the people who really need help? Yeah...
I honestly feel doctors and such have orders not to help people with mental health unless they are totally insane, i think they are more bothered about people getting top sick pay if they get diagnosed properly, the only way to see a doctor that will help is to get yourself sectioned some how.
@Johnny I called an ambulance for a family friend who was hinting at suicide online and lived 2 hours away from me and the ambulance showed up 4/5 hours later. He hadn’t done it 😬
Mental health NHS is really only interested in treating short-term acute conditions, which can be quickly resolved in a single set of treatments at relatively low cost. E.g. treating PTSD after a road traffic collision. There is just no money for the long-term mental health treatment required by many people in our society. Especially since many of these cases are not 'curable', so they simply get ignored.
All health services have been chronically under funded by the conservative party, why people vote for them is beyond me.
Any long term illness is treated with long term medication... and we all know who profits from that...

Since the hero, the saviour of the UK Rishi Sunak took 5p of fuel duty a month ago, that made headlines as something extraordinary when fuel was £1.65-£1.70. Now risen another 30p+ It's over £2 a litre for diesel down South and rising, probably same in some places north too. Where is he now? And i'd love to him answer about why Diesel in the UK is more expensive than petrol, the only place in the WHOLE of Europe where Diesel is more expensive than petrol at the pump.
Yesterday tesco had petrol at 177.9 and diesel i think was at 182.9. That's was Widnes near Liverpool
@@colinbason I went past a petrol station local to me (Portsmouth) 2.00p exactly but i know 20 minutes further me i've seen people posting over £2 a litre.

Many employers don't endorse any Union actions; the Tories have decimated the power of unions massively over time, to the point that I've never worked for a business with a Union that supports employees.
Unions are a waste of time, any I've ever been in didnt give a crap about their members.

Government funding should be used to subsidies current food costs or elevate current wages. I can understand services are required but people won't be reaching them if they had money on their pocket.
Well exactly, they were, but Boris has torn them all up. Under his government we have lost, Farming subsidies, making food cheaper, we have lost free trade with Europe that brings in money for fisheries and traders. And then Under the Johnson government energy companies made record profits at the start of this year.
It's govt borrowing and the resulting quantitative easing that has caused the issue in the first place. There is no magic money tree and everything "free" costs us in the end. We need less welfare state and govt in reality.
Well that’s how it should be. But they are focused on Helping Ukraine and giving them money than British people.
They have subsidised services

It's sad to see a carer, someone who has dedicated their career to caring for others to be struggling so much - I hope people enjoyed furlough because this is price we are paying
whats furlough go to do with it? And i doubt anyone enjoyed lockdown. Pay has stagnated for a decade so now when there is a crisis people can't cope. Public services have been cut back for over a decade and now can't cope. That lady likely works for a private care home so wouldn't have been affected by furlough anyway
