Please help me. I suffer from major depressive disorder. I've been on the maximum dose of my anti depressant for many years now and it's at the point of no longer coming close to helping me. I have a referral to see a psychiatrist but they don't make urgent appointments and he is away sick and they can't event give me an ETA on an appointment. I feel this is URGENT. I am NOT coping with my life at all. I don't want to kill myself, but I simply can't go on like this any longer. Is there a way to get the help I need? I believe that because I'm not about to self harm and I'm not technically suicidal the CATT team aren't really the answer...so what's the middle ground?? PLEASE help me

You could just head down to your local gp, he might be able to prescribe you something that'll help calm down the anciousness and help you get some sleep
