Hi toonkate,

I know it is frustrating!

In the UK the waiting lists are very long. I had to wait an awful long time.(but I would like to add that I have now been with my T for 4 years and was well worth the wait.)

Also I believe that the psychiatrist will not refer you to a psychologist until you are stable enough to have therapy.

Don't give up though, I actually rang the psychological dept several times and I think this helped to move me up the list.

While you are waiting you could ask your doctor if you could see a counsellor, if you think this might help.

I hope you get to see a psychologist soon.

Take care
