NHS Failing Mental Health sufferers

I was referred for Cognitive behavioural Therapy back in January 2015, i’m still waiting been told it wont be until November or december till i’m seen. This means it will have 14 months since my last therapy and its just not helpful. The progress and steps forward i feel i made in 2014 has been undone.

Went to the GP this morning, and was told after 2 Years since my breakdown in 2013, there’s nothing more they can do for me. I have to sort it out myself.  Its a mental health issue and I’m the only one who can resolve it, i have to change the way i think and start improving.

Doesn’t really work like that, What does she think i’ve been doing for the past 2 years? clearly i’m struggling and not getting better fast and need help and assistance. Not to be told Sorry your on your own.

  1. Hang on in there. Try to think positive and believe you are getting better, note small improvements (small steps). Start to get your body in shape, put your efforts into doing something physical each day – a walk, a few push ups, stretching , anything your knees will allow but carefully. Concentrate on your body and your mind will follow – if you see what I mean! Also try to do one or two things a day with utter confidence, it does not have to be anything big, pick up the phone and call us or your sisters, email your brother – but own the action and do it with supreme confidence. Decide to change the bed or clear a cupboard or sort your clothes, anything but decide to do it and move straight into action. Then congratulate yourself when done. But don’t beat yourself up if not completed – that can be your goal for tomorrow. You are a very special person.
