Feeling hopeless and in need of help
Hey all, need somewhere to vent. I'm so frustrated with myself and the UKs mental health system. I've always struggled with mental health been diagnosed with C-PTSD privately a few years ago. I believe I also have ADHD. I've tried getting help from different services and it always seems to fall through. I've tried to access the community mental health team services twice now and have not met the requirements both times. I suppose I didn't sell my symptoms enough? I'm really at the end of my rope and not sure what to do. All of the same patterns repeat themselves and I'm constantly in a state of anxiety/depression/confusion/hopelessness etc.
I do really need help and I think I need to perhaps accept that it's a long process and there's nothing that can immediately help me. I feel so sad because I think with the adequate help my life would be so much better, instead of being on waiting lists and trying to convince someone who doesn't know me that I'm worthy of being helped.
How do you guys manage all of your symptoms? I know of so much advice and it logically makes sense logically but implementing it is always different. I think talking to someone who is in a similar position or has struggled a lot will benefit me right now :( thanks for reading.
