I'm currently a bit stuck and not sure what to do next. I first went to my gp around a month ago after I suddenly started having problems around Christmas. However I didn't know it was OCD at that point though my research and some other developments since suggests it very likely is. The GP didn't recognize OCD probably partially due to the intrusive thoughts being around existential themes instead of more stereotypical ones and I also didn't really mention the compulsions as I didn't recognize them as such yet.
I was referred to the local mental health service and had a call with a mental health nurse who also didn't really recognise it as OCD probably for similar reasons. She referred me to another service who specialise in early intervention for psychosis probably due to the severe derealisation I sometimes get when the anxiety is bad. When talking to them they said it wasn't the service for me as it wasn't really psychosis I was suffering from.
That was a weekend a half ago and I haven't heard anything since. I have tried asking for them to contact me though the system they gave when scheduling the appointment but haven't heard anything.
What do you think the best thing to do next would it be to go back through the GP, try and get in touch with the mental health service directly or something else? It just feels like I'm going nowhere at the moment I have considered going private to at least get somewhere but I worry that could make it even more complicated.
