Thanks Bark. MIND have provided me with some info, but they don't have any volunteers in my town to talk to in person. Apparently, the mh services have to have clear guidelines on the services they provide and rather than dismissing people as not meeting their criteria they have to show that there is more suitable treatment available in another service. So my GP has challenged the local MH service to direct me to the right service, it's a waiting game and my anxiety is making me dread the worst. I'm not quite as anxious today and have felt safer in myself.
