I know there are better options at the doctor's surgery I'm registered at now because I know someone who was offered CBT through email at the same practice.

I don't know. CBT only works for people who are able to change their own thinking/actions. It's certainly not suitable for everyone so maybe it just wasn't for me, anyway.Lady Nymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17721420961173930843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318006438685218297.post-5238204378755204662015-11-28T05:45:24.896-08:002015-11-28T05:45:24.896-08:00Thanks for sharing your experiences, I am sure tha...Thanks for sharing your experiences, I am sure that a lot of people will be able to relate to this and find your honestly so warm.

I have a few people close to me that suffer with depression, and the hardest thing for them is being prescribed tablets, and feeling ok about taking them. I think its great that you have got to the point of being comfortable with taking tablets, as it seems like it takes a lot of people a long time to get there.

But your experience just shows how easily people can be left feeling totally unsupported by the system. Thank goodness you were strong enough to go back and seek help a second time. I'm sure your writing will inspire others to seek support (and to keep going until they get the right support!) I'm pleased that things are working out for you now. #marvmondays xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318006438685218297.post-71847136696452751642015-11-23T05:07:15.812-08:002015-11-23T05:07:15.812-08:00Fantastic post!

I hope that any reading this can see that they should not take it personally if they don't feel they are supported please get a second and third opinion if necessary. I have a personal experience of having a GP come across of very dismissive of me when I approached her with mental health concerns. The next week I wrote her a letter explaining that even if it didn't seem obviously apparent I really needed her help. She actually called me and apologised and referred me for CBT. Please go back or go to someone else, knock on doors til one opens. Lastly that book made me do ugly laugh. Please tell me what it is so I can get it for my boy. #MarvMondaysModerate Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494395272179422779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318006438685218297.post-55865149014131747322015-11-22T06:12:09.849-08:002015-11-22T06:12:09.849-08:00Thank you!
