I wanted to discuss day to day problems she wanted to discuss my childhood.It's appalling where I live too. You wait ages and go through the routine of Community Mental Health Nurse, then refered to CBT, Mindfulness, then Someone else. I got told by one Doctor "you arent crazy enough to see a Phychiatrist" What a state the NHS is in, especially regarding Mental Health. I armed myself with knowledge about Mental Health and got funny looks when I knew things the Doctors didn't. It's up to us to manage our Mental Health in this Country, because we sure as **** ain't going to get it from the NHS.
I think it is unfair to exclude me from mental health help as I did not get on well with the therapist.
I don't receive any mental health care and I am unlikely to.
Mental health Care in my area is appalling.
