The British government want's to bring in a new mental health act, the DSPD Order Bill. This new law means a person can be detained in an institution without a time limit, perhaps until they are dead, by a mental health authority that is policed by nobody. All on the word of two psychiatrists and a social worker. In the UK many social service and mental health institutions are abusive and this is a documented fact.

Legally, the DSPD Order Bill means a person who has never committed a crime, can be locked up for life on the word of three people. I was diagnosed with an untreatable personality disorder by a doctor who saw me for ten minutes, he later clamed I was a psychopath (antisocial personality disorder). This was after I put in a complaint about sexual harassment by a therapist who worked for the same health authority. My complaint was placed in my medical file and remains unanswered. Eventually the therapist was removed, my complaint was taken out of the medical file and I was told (in writing) am not considered to be danger to the public. However I had to go on hunger strike before this happened. Association of Personality Disorder

You could always do nothing about it and then go home for a wedgie

Unfortunately, you seem to set your life to standards of unobtainability for others. This leads to your dissatisfaction and therefore your inevitable complaints. The 'boy who cried wolf' springs to mind.
