Why is the Home Office so inconsiderate?

I wish the home office understood how much of an impact they actually had on peoples’ health. This morning I wanted to die. I didn’t want to be alive. I considered self harming, it took everything I had left in me to stop myself from self harming. This visa is the biggest stressor of my life and I have no control over it. I can’t do anything to change things and I can’t even contact anyone to get more information. I’m just stuck. Every time I contact the Home Office I get the same old reply, ‘we’re working on it’. But it’s been 14 months now and it was supposed to be over in 3, so why am I still waiting? Why am I still lying in my bed alone? Why is my husband still on the other side of the planet, thousands and thousands of miles away?

I wish someone would explain to these people how much is actually at stake for people. I wish they could or would even try to understand the influence their decisions have on peoples’ lives.
