I posted in another section but then I thought people here might know some other places for help that I haven’t thought of.
I have OCD and ASD and I’m drowning. I’ve tried to ask for help with everyone I can think of but we’ve just been left to it. It frightens me that I’ve told people how low and struggling we are and yet we’ve just been waved off into the distance.
GP: medication and referred to IAPT and also referred to surgery social prescriber.
Social prescriber: took some info, recommended to local autism charity, said she’d call back this week, hasn’t called back
IAPT: suggested the eye movement therapy, instead sent a letter telling me I’m on a (months to a year) waiting list for CBT again despite agreeing on the phone it’s no longer suitable for my problems.
School: contacted social care to find out what support there is available
Adult social care: redirected school to mental health services
Child social care: don’t meet any thresholds for help
Local autism charity: no support for adults other than a social group
Housing association support team: took some info, said they’d call back this week, haven’t called back
I feel like we are screaming for some support and no one is out there. And all I hear is how people struggling should ask for help.
