TL;DR 
The health system was not helpful at all, I'm even more depressed and in a shitty situation, what is your story with health system, was it really helpful, how long did it take ? 

So yesterday I've been to the doctor because I've been on wait list for DBT for 5 months and I'm slowly but surely dying. Every crisis is bigger and harder to get through. I live in Canada in a city where the health care is ''free'' (it's not). Basically, everyone pay his part in taxes and everything. So it's ''great'' for people who can't afford private services. But now, the situation is that we need to wait 3 hours minimum in the urgency to see someone, no one has a family doctor and we are like a ball in the arcade machine just being threw everywhere and basically, the information is not well transmitted so... you are, 85% of the time, fucked. Not to mention how much mental illnesses are not taken seriously even by a fucking psychiatric hospital. Yesterday I talked to 3 people. Nurse, student doing his doctor degree and the divine one, the psychiatrist. The first two were nice. The last one. I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to think about that person and forgive her. I honestly spend 3-4 minutes in her office. She told me to look for a family doctor (which can take a year or more), she told me to go to a hospital near my house (this one was far but it's psychiatric hospital so I thought it would be better...). I needed to have paper for school to prove that I have BPD, signed by a doctor. She said : I'm not gonna sign that. I asked where could I find someone who could. She said : I'm not gonna sign that. So basically, I'm fucked with school. It's gonna cost me more. I can't work. I can't study. I have no therapy. I started crying like a baby and she said : I know, it's hard. With a bored voice that didn't care about me at all. I said to her that I was cutting myself, that I had suicidal plans and she just... let me go. So I'm paying for a health care that doesn't help me. And I have zero money to get private services. And I KNOW, I KNOW that it's way worse in other country so I wanted to ask : What is your story with health care ? Did you really got help one time and if so, how long did it take ?
