the We Need to Talk coalition.

Oh the fucking irony. I helped to put together the survey back in April.
It's been almost a year since I went to my GP because I knew I was
unwell and tried to get myself onto the waiting list for psychological
therapies. I ended up not getting them. I quit my job. I became
progressively more unwell but kept on going through life. A few months
after I self-referred to get access to psychological therapies I had an
initial assessment where I asked for a therapist and an experienced one.
I was referred to a drugs and alcohol service which is what I didn't
want and told I'd have another initial assessment six months later. I
didn't bother with the drugs and alcohol referral. Since then I've also
withdrawn from contact with NHS services. I'm well aware I'm severely
unwell at the moment but I've fucking had enough.
Anyway, I hope other people will get access to the therapy they want
when they need it. I'll fix myself on my own or fail trying.
