If you haven’t gotten therapy yet, please do it and don’t hold anything back. Humans weren’t made to solve everything on our own. We need interaction and support from other people.

I’m in the same situation right now, but as hard as it is it’s not impossible to get an OCD specialist. I’m planning on seeing one soon through Skype therapy which is an option

@phoebe buffay I’m just on earth for the fucking lolz clearly

@uwotm8 What area are you, I'm in Montreal, Canada's mental health services aren't as great as ppl think

@Madskills422 I’m from the uk

@uwotm8 I see, I know nothing about the healthcare there, but peep Show and British comedy is awesome

@Madskills422 You’re 100% correct at least we are funny as fuck ?

@uwotm8 Haha, I just noticed your name, jokes.

This, you are so right ! Mental Health support is just not there for ppl, generic therapy is what is usually offered, on waitlist of 2+3 months. ERT and emdr is not offered, unless you can afford 100-140 a session

@Madskills422 I feel I have no choice other than to just I dunno, force myself to be normal? Either that or die lol ? I don’t want to but that’s my two options

@uwotm8 Seems like it, the system only really cares for those really far gone, but how they get there can also be a result of a lack of support.

@Madskills422 What do you mean that the system only cares for those that are far gone?

@Regina Phalange They make people wait until they’re properly fucked up because if you go there for help when you’re perceived as “not as bad” they tell you you aren’t a priority and others deserve it mkre. Which creates a fucked up viscous cycle of people getting into complete states in order to get better Years ago I wanted help for an eating disorder and I was told I wasn’t thin or young enough therefore, fuck off lol ? I was 1lb away from being underweight and they were like nah you’re good

@uwotm8 Yeah that’s seriously fucked up. The mental health system can be like that though, it’s just about finding the right people which I know isn’t easy. Having said that it is understandable to me how they would prioritise those in suicidal situations, which I don’t mind being pushed back a bit for. Although that’s probably just my OCD convincing me that I’m not as bad as they are because for some reason I can’t acknowledge that I’m just as important as them lol

@Regina Phalange But that’s just telling people they need to reach critical points and they have to get suicidal first then isn’t it, I think that’s a dreadful way of managing people It’s like saying to someone “you’re currently on square one, we want you to go to square -10 first, before we give a shit to help you, THEN we will help you get back to square 1, so we can help you get to square 10 eventually”
