Online CBT?

Is there a way to access free online CBT? Without interacting with someone? I feel I need to do something, but no point trying to get a doctor's appointment and I'm not good at phone calls.

You could do a lot worse than studying it - have a look at Kain Ramsay's CBT courses on Udemy; they are excellent and will allow you to work on yourself as you go through the course.

Thank you. I can't afford to study it. I just need a bit of support, some tips before I sink into deeper depression.

If you are in the UK and Google your area and 'IAPT' you should be able to self refer for talking therapies, they might also have online webinars or options.
Remember that you can ring NHS 111 option 2 for Mental Health crisis support.
Does your GP have an online form for appointments?

Years ago I was not quite myself and I self-referred to my local Talking Therapies group at the CMHT. They gave me a course in online CBT for free. I didn't get on with it personally, but it might be worth asking.

Google silver cloud - it's the NHS recommend one

Thank you for all the recommendations. I'll try them all.

No firm to fill in for my gp - I've requested online access, weeks ago, but not heard back yet.

Thank you very much, these were extremely helpful. I'll work through the cbt. Exactly what I needed.
