I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years, but a series of physical illnesses just before Christmas brought me down very low, much worse than I've ever been before, even feeling suicidal. I am now under the care of a mental health nurse.She brought a psychologist to see me just over a month ago who promised to feedback to me.Nothing from her yet. They also promised to let me know how long the waiting list is for therapy.I am doing my best to do my breathing and relaxation exercises and to be positive, but it is a very frightening illness (especially when one has had panic attacks -not now thank goodness), but how long does one have to wait?If I had a broken leg it would be fixed immediately. I am on tow different types of antidepressant plus diazapam for the panicky periods. How long have other people had to wait feeling so shitty?
