I'm a social worker myself and I can tell you I am high risk right now! I have had lifelong mental health issues and I've had the worst loss in my life. I am grieving and I am struggling to hang on to the progress I've made in my recovery. I am trying to be the perfect patient in that I am noticing my symptoms, I am noticing the spiral, and I am reaching out for help - open and willing. I have some DBT support, but I can't handle group right now because I am too much in a crisis to learn skills. I am seeing my DBT psychologist once a week. But I need more. I have spent hours searching for affordable bereavement support in my area and I am coming up with fucking nothing. I have referred myself to the local health department and said I need grief support and nobody has called me back in weeks. I have been reaching out to all the local services and nobody has a goddamn brain or a care. Do I just have to lose control and lose my job and end up in a psych ward before I get some fucking help??????? The system is so shit, I can't even begin. I feel like I am ignored and this isn't important, and my life isn't important. I feel like dying, but I am hanging on for my mum because she doesn't need another loss. I am living for her point blank, and that fucking sucks. This is just bullshit.
