To think I'm a lost cause.

I have been trying to get help for my mental health problems for 10 years. 10 years of going between Camhs (who told my mum what I said and then accused me of being a liar), multiple sessions of CBT, multiple conversations where I was told by counsellors that I needed someone with more experience than they had to help me, multiple anti-depressants, multiple referrals that never go anywhere. I get forgotten about. After reaching a really bad point where I planned to end it all, I reached out to my GP again. I had the assessment today and was told that I do not meet the criteria for DBT, but CBT can't help me, the woman on the phone didn't believe a word I said, I couldn't even explain how bad I am feeling but I could tell she didn't believe a word of it. I am tired of feeling like this, why won't anybody help me! I think maybe nobody can help me and this will be my life now, I could try and end it all again - and fail again - and that will be it on repeat forever until my body finally decides I've suffered enough and it is time to let me go.

I think you (rightly) sound very defeated. I am sorry you have not had the help you need. Flowers

Please try to find the strength within you to keep going, as people can offer therapy and help but you really have to believe in it and and keep working at it -even when you feel it's not working.
You must try to keep going.
The work will come from you with help from others. Dont take no for an answer and keep working towards finding the right type of treatment for you.

You have as much worth as any other human Flowers

Can I ask op what made you think she didn’t believe you?

@Bluntness100 I don't know how to explain it exactly but she sounded very questining of my answers, and then said that she would have to speak to someone who has seen me before to 'shed some light' on things.

Is there a possibility she was just trying to understand and wants to speak to a colleague to get further insight op?💐
