Mental Health Plan

A while ago I spoke to my GP about issues with depression. This was very hard to do. Have been seeing him for over 20 years now

Mentioned about getting a Mental Health Plan.

He said that they are a waste of time and don't do any good. I have left it at that.

What else can I try instead?

Hi BNB,

I understand and there is no pressure to say more than you want to. It is good that you are still reaching out to us. Maybe reading other threads may help, may give you ideas on coping strategies and will show you are not alone with how you are feeling. If you want to read threads in the social zone they may cheer you up as they are based on just social chit chat, nothing too serious.

Things not much improved.

Think the word is out and now feeling more isolated than ever.

Tried calling for phone help again and it was the same thing. Left me feeling worse than before.
