I have had an assessment for a type of DBT for people with long term complex needs. The assessor was very nice but, as always, it was long and stressful. It has been a wait of about 8 months and I now have to wait to see if I am accepted.
I think I must have sounded a bit desperate at the end as I begged:-‘Please don’t give up on me as I am tougher than you think!’
I know I can do ok with a little help but I get desperate if I feel there is just no-one to call or turn to.
I worry about the state of mental health services now. It seems like we have gone back a century. Everything we seemed to understand that worked has been thrown aside in the excuse of cost saving. Yet I am not convinced that money is saved in the long run as we simply throw people on the rubbish heap if they do not fit in to our ,’norm’.
I have had one interview in the hope of receiving support
I thought I had been accepted vand was simply awaiting a place on a treatment program. I have since learnt that I face yet another interview!
I feel as if no matter what I do or how hard I try I cannot get through the shut door to treatment. There is always another hurdle or another issue preventing me from getting to that goal. The door has been slammed in my face!
