Ditched my 4 year wait for therapy.

So yeah I just gave up. Just like that. Told them to stuff it.

My experience with the national health service has been a disgrace from the start (read about my latest appointment borderline-personality/topic126112.html).

I'm just so sick of being passed around and people giving excuses as to why they can't treat me. And after a therapist was still trying to push me into a stupid borderline reflective group, I cracked and rang up today and discharged myself.

I've had my DID ignored, glossed over, denied completely, and explained that its just me "tuning into different parts of myself" but no one has even made one effort to help me with it.

I'm done with disappointment after disappointment. I'll just have to learn to live with all of my problems because no one in the health service seems to have a ######6 clue about what DID is or how it should be treated.

I feel so much lighter knowing that I'm no longer wasting my energy waiting and hoping for something that, deep down, I know is never going to happen.

Sorry to hear you've been on the butt end of the NHS.

I've heard great things from others here about the Pottergate Centre so why not give them a go?

Glad you feel better for standing against the BS!

I have taken free questionnaires with them but unfortunately I can't afford to go private right now. Hopefully one day I will be able to. Until then I just have to learn to accept and live with my issues instead of hanging on in false hope of getting treatment any time soon

Oh so you have to deal with the NHS. so you are in the UK. Thats one of the benefits to living in the US, is employers offer health insurance for private doctors. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. But it is more beneficial than harmful i feel like because if you don't have health insurance in the US, you have a really hard time making ends meet. it would be nice to have affordable health insurance though. I have insurance but its my dads. I get to keep it for another 6 years. I am going to get a job with benefits in that time period though.
