I suffer from mental illness and live in Forshaga municipality. There has been an activity center for those with mental illness.
In the past, it has been the case that participants are picked up in the morning, and since many find it difficult to get active in other ways, it has been very good with excursions and not forced attendance, when you have, for example, anxiety and other problems. Now they have changed it, as I understand it, to an occupation and the excursions have been withdrawn, they no longer pick up the participants. Solrosen, like the activity house, also runs a flea market. Just that the supervisors are not allowed to have participants in the cars even for carrying help.
Housing support, which is very important, may no longer accompany users to important doctor’s appointments as important support. Everything seems to be about those with mental illness being pushed aside. I feel sick from all this and become like a prisoner in my own home. And believe and know that more people like me feel that way!
