I’ve been in your shoes—and when I finally found someone who said he could help my daughter, it turned out he couldn’t. I was crushed.</P> <P>I ploughed on because there was no alternative until I found the right person to treat her. <SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">That’s what I believe you must do. <BR /> </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">You’ve made a really important decision to seek help and despite the system I know it can be done. </SPAN><SPAN style="font-size: inherit; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">I know it’s hard and that right about now you probably want to scream or cry. But tomorrow is another day awash with hope.</SPAN></P> <P>I’m wondering if there’s someone in your life that could help you? Perhaps a family member or friend. If not, perhaps try going back to see your GP. </P> <P>You could explain the runaround you’re getting. Tell the doctor you’re tired and frustrated. Ask if the doctor can please help.</P> <P>I’m really sorry this is happening to you. It’s awful. But I know in my heart that the right person to help you is out there. Please keep trying because it can get better.</P> <P>Kind thoughts to you </P> Tue, 27 Jul 2021 11:55:01 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/depression/sick-of-the-run-around/m-p/9927#M1269 Summer Rose 2021-07-27T11:55:01Z
