ERP in the UK

I’m in the same boat, really need to get the therapy but can’t afford to go private I mean unless I really have to. I’ve been on the NHS waiting list since April 2021 😫 xxxxxxxx

Ive had the initial call but not used their treatment yet as i can't afford it. Im waiting on a letter from the mental health team to hopefully get some therapy. Have you had any therapy yet from the NHS?

Really? I've only recently been sorting it out with the doctor, he said the waiting list could be 12 months... I didnt and don't think I could wait so long? Maybe things will ease by then.. it's terrible that the waiting time for mental health issues is so long and any illness really. Mine was with NHS wales, was your with England?

To be honest I have done a lot of research and followed some great insta accounts that have been super Helpful and I’m in a much better place, I want the therapy still as I’m not there 100% Yes, I’m in England. Under my local MH team, they have been awful if The truth be told, if it wasn’t for friends and family I’d probably not of got Through as well as I have, certainly can not thank them for their input. Hopefully it’s not as long of a wait in your area, our local MH service is in a desperate state. It’s not anyone one in particulars fault but when you’re going through the ringer it’s just let down after let down xxxxxxxxx

North Wales is the one I'm with, although it's early days. And yes I know what your saying it's a hard thing to deal with and getting the right support seems to take forever sometimes. What area are you in? And that's good you've had help from family and friends, I've also done research and that has helped me realise some things, but again without working a specialist in the subject it seems like small steps, but at least small steps in the right direction is better than none.

I am in Norfolk, do you now it ? Xxxxxx

Yes I do, I hope your day is going ok

Thanks, you too xxxxx

Hi, I have really enjoyed NOCD!! I at first got a discounted rate but now have to pay the full rate which works out at $180 per hour which is expensive I know, but if you want to get better it is worth it. I’ve also been on the waiting list for a long time 😔
