So I’ve been trying to get help since my baby was born last year, I’ve just gotten an informal diagnosis of bpd and come off my antidepressants bc they’re not working. The psychiatrist referred me to my gp who can’t put me on antipsychotics, my next appointment with a psychiatrist is in October and I had to make about five different calls to be passed around to the right person. It’s so exhausting having to not only work up the courage bc of my past medical neglect, but keep chasing them around for weeks begging them to do their job. I can’t afford to go private and I lose more and more hope every day, I’m beginning to feel I’d be better just giving up trying to get help. The wait lists for therapy are years long. I don’t think I can wait. Everything just gets worse and worse and I can’t even tell them how bad it is or they’ll put me away and take my kid into care
