Hi all
Been on the waiting list with BASS since March. Have to say I’m not coping too well, drinking too much, ocd is insane, eczema bad, and generally feeling tearful and sad most of the time. I’m hiding it well from my partner, family and friends as I always do - years of masking depression mean I’m pretty good at it. But I don’t want to be like this and feel life is on hold until I know one way or the other. Is private assessment a good idea and will it be accepted by the NHS? Any private recommendations in the Bristol area? Appreciate it’s costly but some things are worth paying for and my own health is one of them. The thought of being this way for another year or two at least is not helping.
Thanks
Steve
