I have had a abusive/traumatic childhood and have suffered from anxiety and depression for around 13 years due to this, I have had CBT for this but didn’t feel it benefitted me at that particular time. I am having trauma counselling at the moment and both my GP and counsellor are sure I have OCD, the GP did a referral a few weeks ago and rang me back with there reply today.
Basically they said something along the lines of, CBT is the treatment for OCD and because Iv had it before and it didn’t help there is nothing else they can offer, there maybe a time for CBT in my life but I don’t feel this is the correct time.
Why am I having to fight for my mental health after 13 years of hell Iv had many different tablets and therapists and I just can’t seem to get to the bottom of it and I’m so frustrated, I do as much as I can to help myself but there’s only so much I can do!
My GP spoke to me about a psychiatrist or psychologist but I don’t hold out much hope, she is going to try refer me to a different area/hospital I just don’t know what else to do?!
