Feeling lost and no one will help me

...See more Didn't know where to post so thought I'd post in here... I'm feeling so lost right now. Finally after years of waiting I got a ADHD diagnosis late last year after spending my savings on going private because the NHS wasn't helping me. I finally got medication. Today my psychiatrist has told me to stop taking the medication because he thinks I might have bipolar too... But he's not gonna diagnose me because it's online based (psychiatry UK) and that I have to go to the community mental health team. The CMHT discharged me twice in one week and is refusing to see me and were really rude to me saying it's my fault that I'm not helping myself and that I need to go to AA, which is blatantly not gonna help me apart from my dependency on alcohol... I've been trying to get help for over 10 years now and find out what is wrong with me and I keep getting one step forward then like 50million steps back... I can't go on feeling like this, I can't function on a day to day basis and I don't know what to do... Why do NHS mental health services have to suck so much... Ughhhh I'm so frustrated Sorry needed to rant aha

...See more So last week started with me being told I have osteopenia, this week iv been told I'm being sent for an MRI scan for my joints (so scared it's osteoarthritis). I'm in some form of discomfort or pain 24/7 (I have a stupidly high pain threshold with some things like breaking bones sometimes) and I just can't be arsed anymore... Like Im sick of my body just deciding to keep giving up on me and adding yet another condition to the list 🙃 like I already have PCOS, IBS and asthma which I struggle with daily and now my joints and bones are deciding not to play ball now... And I got multiple different mental health problems ontop... I just feel like I'm drowning... I'm yet to meet someone who I can talk to and relate too about having so many conditions and I also constantly feel like some of my health problems are my fault... which sucks... Oh and I'm in my early 20s so its literally ruined all my life goals. Like how do you come to terms with your conditions affecting all your life plans..? Sorry I feel like this has been more of a rant than anything 😂 Random question also but to anyone who has had an MRI scan, anyone got any tips to calm the anxiety for it? I'm terrified of getting it done 😅

I think im relapsing and I'm so scared

...See more I'm panicking a lot, I'm scared I'm relapsing again... iv struggled with food since I was 14/15 and I'm now 23, switching between binge eating and restriction. Beginning of last year I tried to finally ask for help since it was the worst I ever got, my GP tried refering me to the eating disorder team, they just straight up denied me without even doing an assessment because my weight was deemed "healthy"... So I tried recovering on my own and it was going amazing.. until recently.. I got told I have osteopenia likely caused by all of this which like logically should make me wanna eat healthier so it doesn't get worse but it's made me so depressed and anxious I can't eat.. and the bad thoughts are coming back about how people will love me if im skinny enough, which I know is bullshit and it's just my stupid brain but it's so hard to ignore. I just don't know what to do... Like im scared of being refused to even be seen again.. and im so scared I'm getting ill again and it'll kill me this time.. im just so lost and alone right now.. Sorry it's so long the post, I just needed to offload my thoughts somewhere 😅
