My greatest concern is that, after all the assessment questions, they'll say they can't offer any help. I know the NHS budget is extremely stretched and could probably be MUCH better spent than on people such as me, but I fear for the future if I'm left to try to sort myself out unaided.

How are you doing, Stagger?
The NHS tend towards quickly putting you on drugs, or so i'm told. I daren't approach them because i don't know whether they'll have my best interests at heart, they are an organisation now doing things from a financial perspective not a care perspective.

It's a rough and lonely path trying to sort yourself out unaided though. Since re-injuring myself a week ago i've been in a lot of shit, i hate myself so completely for being reckless and all the coping strategies i have are powerless. The problem is that little things open the door to bigger, nastier things, and before you know it you simply can't face it any longer; before you know it you are fighting for a reason to stay alive. Going it alone has you reliant on favours a lot, which you don't necessarily feel you deserve depending upon how the problem is manipulating you.

You're probably better off with the NHS for now, insist on a talking therapy of some sort, try and be firm and see where it gets you.
