I’m operating on 2 hours of sleep and have to head to work soon, so I can’t write up my whole experience, but the title is unfortunately true for me. Nobody wants to help past the initial “intake” meeting.

My school has therapy services, I spoke with them, explained my mental health issues, and they said they couldn’t schedule an appointment until March. Even after everything I told them they couldn’t help. If I broke my leg and couldn’t walk, and I explained to a doctor that I needed assistance so I could get back to life/school/work? Would I be able to wait until March? Of course not, and I need to treat mental health the same way. I haven’t slept well or gotten the proper amount of daily calories in weeks, I’m surprised I even have the ability to get up and leave my house.

I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment with community providers but they either ask for too much money (even with health insurance) or have a shit schedule.

The fact that someone call listen to my experiences and daily problems, then turn around and say “well I can’t help you for a few weeks” just… reduces my faith in life. I just feel like I can’t go on and I don’t know what to do
