I've been referred to CAMHS and I'm scared because I've only heard bad experiences about it
I've been struggling for over 3 years with extreme mood swings, chronic emptiness and such bad abandonment issues and this also led me to developing an eating disorder (im mostly recovered from that now though), but i finally decided to reach out for help again because its severely impacting my relationship with friends and my bf. I went to NHS talking therapies CBT once, but it was awful and I don't want to go back, it only made me worse.
My GP has ticked of bipolar on the referral form ?? (i suspect bpd but that is besides the point) for some reason but I am really worried about this referral because I've only heard bad experiences from my many friends who have been to CAMHS with team members just ignoring their issues and not taking them seriously. I don't know what to do and I just want to know if it can actually help me or if i am doomed.
