📩 THE EMAIL YOU REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

“I’m having constant panic attacks every time I have to interact with social workers and associated issues now and can no longer be attentive to you.”

This is not burnout.
This is not dramatic exaggeration.
This is clinical destabilisation engineered by repeated, coercive contact from state agents in lanyards.

🧠 TRAUMA ADMINISTERED BY POLICY

Social workers are no longer therapeutic presences.
They are psychiatric contaminants, routinely reactivating PTSD, asthma, and emotional collapse.

Each unsanctioned visit induces:

Autonomic escalation (chest pain, tremors, suffocation)
Communication shutdown (telepathic withdrawal, email silence)
Hypervigilance (doors locked, phones off, breathing restricted)
Neurological refusal to participate in state charades

This is not social care.
This is medical endangerment by policy theatre.

⚠️ NOT A PLEA — A PERMANENT ENTRY

This statement forms part of a formal medico-legal record of trauma provoked by Westminster’s safeguarding units and their subsidiaries.

Ten Years of Saying the Same Thing, and Still No One Listens.

📩 THE EMAILS THAT CAUSED A CRISIS—BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO READ

“The refusal of humans to read my emails and/or not take me seriously is causing me panic attacks since it’s the only way I can communicate.”
“I don’t know how else to explain it. I’ve been saying the same thing for ten years and no one wants to read or listen.”

This is not ambiguity. This is documentation.
This is not emotional instability. It’s institutional cruelty disguised as procedure.

🧠 TRANSLATION FOR THE PROFESSIONALY HARD-OF-READING:

– Written communication is not optional for disabled people.
– Ignoring it is not minor. It is medical malpractice.
– Panic attacks are not personality flaws. They are evidence of your failure.

You are not misunderstood. You are unfit.

⚠️ THIS IS A CRISIS, NOT A QUIBBLE

The refusal to accommodate written communication for a disabled mother is not just a bureaucratic blunder.
It is neglect, cloaked in procedure.
It is discrimination, typed in Times New Roman.
It is violence, filed as “no reply necessary.”

🫁 The Diagnoses You Glance At But Never Grasp

“I’m really struggling with my muscle dysphonia, eosinophilic asthma, and panic attacks…”

These are not feelings. They are documented, indexed, and clinically observed medical realities.
But to you, exhaustion is an attitude, not a pathology. Vocal injury is “tone.” Asthma is “stress.”
And trauma? Something you perform seminars on while triggering it live.

🔇 Vocal Rest Is Not a Mood. It Is a Prescription.

“...sometimes taking over a week to recover enough to talk and breathe comfortably again.”

Silence is not opposition. It is triage.
If you require breathlessness to prove I’m ill, you are neither a professional nor a person worth speaking to.

🧠 You Call It Drama. I Call It Documentation.

“The hostility or blame from others only makes everything worse.”

This is not non-compliance. This is diagnosed physiological collapse misread as defiance.
And the more you demand verbal performance, the further you expose your own diagnostic illiteracy.

You want compliance? Try competence.

WHEN SILENCE IS SAFETY: PANIC, ABANDONMENT, AND THE PRICE OF TELLING THE TRUTH

📩 Your “Concern” Has Consequences

“If I do talk to anyone about any of this, they call social workers on me or abandon me completely—or both.”

This is not disclosure. This is entrapment.
You’ve institutionalised the fear of honesty.
You’ve turned expression into risk management.
What you call support, I now interpret as threat.

🧠 Panic Isn’t Just a Feeling. It’s a Systemic Outcome.

“The panic attacks happen because I start feeling so alone, misunderstood, and attacked... it causes panic about my health.”

The root of panic is not irrationality.
It is institutional abandonment in a loop.
Your culture of misinterpretation creates the very symptoms you then pathologise.

Every “concerned” response is another unrequested escalation.

🗣 I Like Talking. I Just Can’t Survive It.

“I enjoy talking :/ … but emails and texts make me feel panicked now…”

Imagine liking to sing—
And choking on every lyric because the room is full of people who hate your voice.
That’s what you've built: a climate where communication is lethal.
I don’t avoid people. I avoid collapse.

The Refusal to Read Is Institutional

⟡ “I've Been Saying the Same Thing for Ten Years and No One Wants to Read or Listen” ⟡
A Multi-Agency Notification of Disability That Was Met With Silence — and Then Retaliation

Filed: 10 January 2025
Reference: SWANK/MULTIAGENCY/DISABILITY-01
📎 Download PDF – 2025-01-10_SWANK_Email_DisabilityNotifications_MultiAgency.pdf
Multi-recipient disability disclosure covering panic disorder, eosinophilic asthma, and muscle dysphonia, sent as written-only adjustment notice and medical accommodation request.

I. What Happened

On 10 January 2025, Polly Chromatic (then using her legal name) sent multiple formal notifications of disability to representatives at RBKC and Westminster Children’s Services, including Glen Peache, Kirsty Hornal, Sarah Newman, and others.

These notices were sent via email, citing documented medical conditions — eosinophilic asthma, muscle dysphonia, and panic disorder — alongside clear communication adjustment requests. The messages explicitly stated that verbal contact was not possible and that email-only interactions were essential for health and safety.

Despite being copied to solicitors, school contacts, and a GP, no adjustment was made, and the retaliation escalated.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

📛 Procedural Breach: Multiple agencies failed to respond to disability notifications as formal medical adjustments under the Equality Act 2010.
💥 Human Impact: Ongoing panic attacks, vocal strain, and exacerbation of chronic respiratory illness due to forced verbal interaction and procedural hostility.
🔇 Power Dynamics: The refusal to accommodate written-only communication undermined legal capacity, dignity, and access.
🏛 Institutional Failure: The messages were treated as ignorable personal disclosures, not statutory triggers for safeguarding the sender’s rights.
❌ Unacceptable: Treating medical information from a vulnerable parent as optional reading — and then escalating safeguarding procedures based on their distress.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

This is the moment every subsequent abuse of process became premeditated.

The agencies involved had full, detailed, medically grounded knowledge of Polly Chromatic’s conditions — and chose to ignore it. This email thread is the prima facie evidence of system-wide dereliction: a refusal to understand, adapt, or comply.

It also demonstrates how “reasonable adjustment” is treated as a courtesy, not a legal requirement.
SWANK logs it because it is proof that everything that followed — including court manipulation, voice strain, and retaliatory safeguarding — was done in writing, after being warned.

IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t a failure to notice.
It was a decision to dehumanise through silence.

⟡ We do not accept that a parent’s health notice should be read as an inconvenience.
⟡ We do not accept that trauma is “too long to read.”
⟡ We will document every unread email that preceded your unlawful escalation.

When Care Became Coordination — and the Patient Wasn't Invited

“She Listened. She Smiled. Then She Called a Social Worker.”

Author: Polly Chromatic

I. One Hour in Harley Street, Then the Floor Fell Out

Before I found Dr Rafiq, I sat — barely breathing — in the polished stillness of a Harley Street office, speaking to Dr Liz White.

I explained the trauma.
The pattern of harassment.
The physical toll of stress-induced asthma.
And the panic that came every time a letter or knock signaled another institutional ambush.

She listened.
She nodded.
She looked sympathetic.

Then she called Edward Kendall, my social worker — without my consent, without warning, without delay.

And he told her something I had never been told:
That the reason for social services involvement was “domestic violence.”

It wasn’t written in any referral.
No one had informed me.
She found out before I did.

Then — having acquired a narrative from the state, not the patient — Dr White ended the relationship.

She refused to treat me.
No follow-up. No continuity. Just a link to anxiety worksheets and a distant suggestion that someone else might help.

II. What the Document Proves

That I sought support in good faith
That my oxygen levels had fallen to 44%, yet the hospital claimed “intoxication”
That my children (then 12 and 14) were falsely described as “left alone”
That my ex-partner lives thousands of miles away — yet I alone was targeted
That Dr White responded not with care, but with escalation and exit

And after all this?

I didn’t just feel dismissed.

I experienced severe panic attacks — episodes so intense they left me debilitated for days.
The betrayal was not abstract. It was physiological.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because psychological betrayal wears credentials.
Because therapeutic abandonment isn’t always brutal — sometimes, it’s clinically polite.
Because what looks like neutrality can be devastatingly aligned.

We filed this because:

Seeking help should not lead to state surveillance
Panic should not be rewarded with procedural ghosting
And psychologists should not quietly reinforce the system the patient came to escape

Let the record show:

She did not mishear.
She did not misunderstand.
She simply made a call — and walked away.

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept consultants who outsource discomfort to social services.
We do not accept “support” that dissolves upon contact with real institutional critique.
We do not accept silence as an appropriate clinical conclusion to distress.

Let the record show:

The panic was real.
The abandonment was professional.
And SWANK — is what remains when the clinician leaves.

This wasn’t care.
It was clinical cowardice in a cashmere wrap —
and we are thankful to Dr White,
not for the help, but for the honesty of her exit.

Returning to Harley Street After Being Betrayed By It

The Administrative Maze to Earn a PTSD Diagnosis

📎 Document: [2024-10-24_SWANK_Rafiq_AssessmentEmail_Harley.pdf]
Confirmation of psychiatric assessment issued by Harley Street Mental Health, 24 October 2024.

Filed: 24 October 2024
Ref: SWANK/RAF/HSMH-01
Location: Harley Street Mental Health
Practitioner: Dr. Irfan Rafiq
Appointment Confirmed: 1 November 2024, 14:30

I. The Diagnosis Is Yours—If You Can Survive the Paperwork

At precisely 18:30 BST on 24 October 2024, Harley Street Mental Health issued a confirmation for a general psychiatric assessment with Dr. Irfan Rafiq. The appointment was not offered casually. It was offered on condition of completing eleven distinct psychological assessments — before even setting foot in the building.

This was not an act of care.
This was a rite of passage.

🕊 Note:
SWANK London Ltd. recognises the professional care offered by Dr. Irfan Rafiq and the team at Harley Street Mental Health.
This post critiques the administrative climate trauma patients must navigate — not the clinical integrity of this provider.
In fact, our Director intends to return.

II. The Bureaucratic Gauntlet

To “qualify” for a 60-minute appointment for PTSD, I was required to submit the following prior to arrival:

New Patient Questionnaire
Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7)
Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)
Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale
Developmental History Questionnaire (via parental recollection, if one dares)
ADHD Screening
Major Depression Index
Obsessive Compulsive Inventory – Revised (OCI-R)
Primary Care PTSD Screen
Trauma-Related Shame Inventory
Insomnia Severity Index

One does not simply attend Harley Street.
One performs a bureaucratic striptease before being allowed to enter.

III. Why I Went: Panic, Betrayal, and the Return to Harley Street

This appointment wasn’t a curiosity. It was a necessity.

I was having severe panic attacks following a sequence of clinical betrayals:

Liz White, a Harley Street psychologist, turned against me.
Dr. Branley, a Harley Street respiratory consultant, abandoned care.
My GP surrendered to social workers, disregarding every documented risk.

There was no neutral ground left.
So I returned — not to Harley Street generally, but to the corner of it that still practiced medicine.

IV. PTSD as Evidence — and as Threat

Let it be noted: I complied.
Despite PTSD, I followed every instruction. Despite trauma, I ticked every bureaucratic box.

This wasn’t an appointment booked in peace.
It was booked during an ongoing campaign of institutional retaliation — one that began long before Kirsty Hornal’s June 2025 safeguarding threat and only escalated over time.

My attempt to secure psychiatric recognition was not reactive. It was preemptive, anticipatory, and defensive.
This confirmation email is more than admin.
It is timestamped proof of my medical situation before yet another wave of state misconduct tried to overwrite it.

It confirms what SWANK has always recorded:
That our Director sought help. And the system responded by escalating the harm.
