whats the best thing to do??
my friends has bipolar,ptsd,ocd,bpd and self harms……. she is trying to get therapy but there are no councillors available till next year to take her case, she cant afford to go private, not so long ago she had to bad freak outs and cut herself so badly taking and od of lithium ad’d sleeping, she was ringing the help lines on the crisis card and she was trying to get hold of her crisis team but no one was there, they were ment to section her thats what the police told me but they let her out without even dressing her wound, she is trying to do cbt out of a book but where else can she get help?! because the NHS has so badly let her down
Not sure where you are. Mind and Self help initiative ( SHIP) may be able to help. Hope you can find these helpful.
