I have name changed as this quite outing.
I lived in chester all my life which is on the welsh border, when i got pregnant with DD (now 9 months old) her dad wanted nothing to do with her and was an abusive arsehole so i got no help from him.
I was living with my mum and dad and working full time in an admin role, they said i could stay whilst i got used to mother hood and to help me through pregnancy but it wasnt a long term solution (fair enough)
In the summer when i was looking to move rental prices in chester were extortionate and as i was living with my parents in a 4 bed house the council wouldnt house me as i was adequately housed (again fair enough)
So i ended up moving about 10 miles away to a little village just (literally JUST) over the welsh border as rental prices in wales are much cheaper. I left all my friends and family etc but needs must.
I suffer terrible with anxiety and depression and am currently undergoing counscelling (for past abuse as a child) and im on a waiting list for a high intensity CBT course.
I only.moved the end of august and then started back at work 4 days a week the first week in september, and i know people do it and manage very well but it was a lot for me to take on all by myself. I had never lived alone until now.
As you can imagine ive been busy so only got round to changing my address with my doctors today. I wanted to keep the same GP as they are fantastic, its near where i work so i can get there easily enough and i drive. Also mental health services in the northwest are some of the best in the country and north wales the worst (according to statistics)
So i tell the doctors where i moved to only to be told that because its in Wales they wont keep me as a patient, she even said "you could live in london or newcsstle even and keep us as your GP" but because its wales i have to find a welsh GP
Except that means thry have cancelled the rest of my counscelling, north wales dont even offer the type of CBT i was on a waiting list for and i just feel like i was coming to the end of a very long hard road and now that has all been fucked up by some invisible border!
Do you think im over reacting? I just feel so disheartened bu everything, like there was no point in going to hell and back in the last 12 months trying to get better for my DD because in wales they apparently dont care about mental wellbeing.
