i know mental health treatment takes time, i *know* it won't magically get better overnight, but it's been a decade. surely 12+ years is enough time to have made some progress. not one thing is better, not one thing has been explained, i haven't recieved a single piece of advice, a single coping strategy, *nothing*. it's not fair to treat me like i'm being naive and expecting miracles when i'm just asking for *something*. i have *never* gotten anything out of therapy or psychiatrists appointments beyond "oh that sounds bad. well, let's move on". no advice. no suggestions. no working through things. i tell them things, they nod and move on, we never touch it again, it doesn't get fixed.
i feel so sick. i've missed so much. this year was supposed to be different and it's not, and it's just frustrating to think that even if i get help in a year or two, it's all going to be for nothing. i'll have already failed my degree, lost all of my friends, missed years of potential work experience, let my physical health deteriorate. what's the point?
it feels like i broke my leg and instead of getting help, i've just been forced to walk around on it for years and now it's too shattered to fix and i'll never walk properly again. i don't know what to do. i don't understand, why do i keep getting my hopes up, getting put on the waiting list only to get kicked off, then put back on again, shoved to the back of the line. i've waited long enough, it's not fair
