You are lucky if you get counselling. I have battled with my mental health all my life and had to fight to get any support at all. Currently prescribed Venlafaxine that most the times makes me feel worse and like I am looking at the world threw someone elses eyes. Then you have to triage with some stranger over the phone which is awful and then get offer CBT which to be honest did not cover half of my worse triggers with the councillor saying oh we do not cover that area . If I was not morbidly afraid of death since the age of 6 when it all started with encephalitis nearly killing me I would have killed myself and tried with food which was why I got to 31 stone. I pray one day a party any party takes it seriously because I struggle to one degree or another every single day
