Hi NAS71232, Thank you for being open about how you're feeling and for reaching out to the community. You don't have to face these challenges alone, and I hope you'll continue to let others know when you're struggling. In the meantime we would like to add some signposting which may be useful: The National Autistic Society does not currently operate a crisis or emergency service. If you’re finding it hard to cope or have thoughts of harming yourself, please seek help. If you feel you are at risk of immediate harm, call 999 if you are in the UK, or contact your local emergency service if you are elsewhere. You can also find urgent support on our Urgent Help page: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/urgent-help Given the mental health difficulties you describe, you could call your GP and ask for an urgent appointment – they can help you get the right support. If it’s not an emergency but you’re still struggling, speaking to a health professional can help. If your GP is closed, you can call 111 for NHS support. In England, Wales and Scotland, you can choose option 2 to speak directly with mental health professionals: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services/when-to-use-111/ Other free, confidential support includes:
You may also find it helpful to contact PALS if you wish to make a complaint about any NHS treatment you have received: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/hospitals/what-is-pals-patient-advice-and-liaison-service/ We hope some of these resources help. Take Care Suzanne Mod |
