So sorry for not putting the trigger warning, I usually do but when I started the post (and wrote the title) I wasn't planning to write anything triggering!
I'm in a similar area to the one I'm working in, but not the same, however I know they have similar services. My diagnosis is dysthymia with major depressive episodes. I know that because I function ok I don't get priority on these types of services, but that just makes me wonder why I bother functioning because it is so so hard.
I don't feel that I need a crisis team or community nurse, but seeing these people makes me realise that I maybe should have been offered a little more support than 3 monthly appointments. I go to a big GP pracice and tend to go to a different one each time (because I wrongly think that one GP would hate to be stuck with me), I haven't found one I particularly like, though none of them are that bad. I desparately want to avoid going back to the psychiatrists I was seeing but their group is the only one in my area.
I don't know how long the T waiting list is, probably a few months but I haven't been told.
