Being overlooked and not understood

"Being overlooked and not understood"

About: Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust Medway Maritime Hospital Medway PCT

(as the patient),

I have a five year old boy in foster care and this has made my depression worse. I feel the team at medway maritime failed me and also i've been a rape victim and i've recently been punched in the face.

No one wanted to listen and no one seems to care if you suffer with a mental health problem, and I feel I've just been left out in the cold. I was told they would help me to get support in visiting my son but they didn't they just ignored me.

My son's five now, he was three and a half then.Considering he's the other side of the country it's awful.
