I have been diagnosed with having OCD, something I have suspected for a long time.
It was really bad after the birth of my first child but after many losses beforehand it was put down to trauma/PND and after “watch and wait” approach it improved.
After the birth of DC2 it has really escalated. I had to wait a while for treatment but was on a priority list because I had a baby under 3 months old. The initial treatment didn’t do much so they have referred me for a different type of more intense therapy but because my baby is now older than 3 months and I’m not classed as “in crisis” they can’t put me on the priority list. I haven’t heard from anyone since October.
The GP have told me the only thing I can do is self refer to the psychological services again but there’s nothing else they can do? I’m just in limbo while things aren’t getting any better. I have no idea when I might hear back and they can’t give me a timeframe.
AIBU to think this is really terrible care?
