every time i see a post that’s like “go to therapy” or whatever (and i completely 100% understand the intention behind it!!) i just ... it is RIDICULOUSLY hard to get mental health help in the uk and no doubt in other places too i jst. anyway that’s my thought of the day.

#i was on a six month waiting list only to end up with nothing . and i know SO many ppl w similar stories #also u only get like . 4-8 therapy sessions depending where u live. and like quite often .... it's just a gp diagnosis meds and done situ #it's funny bc i was literally IN the camhs system. i was ON their records . and i had appointments but bc of funding cuts and all that. i #just ended up knocked off the list . and then i eventually aged out of it #and then i tried again a year ago to get help bc uh. yeah i was Bad. and it took them six months JUST to tell me. that the place #near me had closed its doors and they couldn't offer anything #i have friends who have just been offered to be posted WORKSHEETS. or had phone call appointments that didn't actually help #i am so tired of carrying this and the thought of having to do that my entire life #and also . the chances of me being able to find someone who is willing to both talk abt my need to go back on adhd medication AND deal w my #mental health ? very low. they won't do both. so it's a choice thing . lmao #personal.
