I've been waiting 2 years to get a psychologist and professional medical help

[Yziar]

I've been waiting almost 2 years to get a psychologist holy shit. I see some of the users here talk about having it while talking about their ex-boyfriends, having friends. I'm losing my shit. I had to move after being evicted and now this GP doesn't remember where the place the previous GP listed me to! They never told me and I'm starting to think they never actually listed me anywhere, just bullshit claims. I have to start all over again.

I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die I want to die.

No one cares about me, I'm living it worse than almost everyone. No one wants to help me.

where do u have to wait so long?

UK, the NHS

A lot of the posters here are from the USA. We can get appointments fairly quickly if you have insurance and/or $$$.

think I read it somewhere like people would typically spend 3-8 years in the MH system before getting just the right diagnosis. NHS is definitely a motherfucker. but even without a waitlist, like here in the States, it's a long shot getting the help one really needs. no wonder we give up on "recovery".

I know this sounds stone cold sober it's almost cruel but, be prepared to go without any tangible help. mentally prepared, mostly. they *will* fail you time and again. investing all your hopes in them is likely only gonna bring yourself down. doesn't mean you shouldn't try. it's all about not setting too high an expectation, and play the game wisely.

That sounds very frustrating. Everyone deserves to be able to get the help they need. I'm sorry you are going through this. I understand that it is hard to carry on when you are suffering so much. I wish you the best.

I feel your pain. I hope that someone will help you!

Update: Stupid lying bitches referred me to some place. I had to wait an entire week to get call back from them just to have an appointment set to another week later!! THIS NEW PLACE NEVER TOLD ME WHERE THEY WERE BASED SO I HAD TO CHASE TO FIND OUT DURING THAT WEEK WHILE HAVING 4 appointments with the GP to find this place. They kept telling me they don't know they don't know, and kept giving me the wrong leads. Lying motherfuckers. I eventually found the place after so many calls only to find out the GP did know all that stuff and all I got was a call from another place THAT ASKS THE SAME DAMN QUESTIONS HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

IT GETS EVEN FUNNIER. WATCH THIS THE CANCELLED THE APPOINTMENT for another place to that were needs several MORE MONTHS OF WAITING HOLY SHIT. THEY NEVER CALLED ME ABOUT THIS CANCELLATION!! IT WAS ONLY WHEN I CALLED AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. All I want is to start taking medication!!! BACK TO SQUARE ONE ONCE AGAIN STUPID fucking retards !!!!!!!!!! God I hate my life even the doctors sidetrack me holy shit.

Dude people rightfully shit on American healthcare? But the NHS sounds chilling from the stories I've heard.

You'll have more luck contacting a charity that offers these services than relying on the NHS, tbh.

I have been waiting since 2018 to get help. All I have had in that time is five 45 minute sessions of mindfulness crap. They told me that they do not have the money for one to one sessions. I am waiting for MIND. I go to a Rethink group and even the leader of it has only just been referred to mental health services. Another member reports a friend has been on a waiting list for 20 years. Be grateful you are on any waiting list at all.
