I said this because before I went into therapy in first place I tried for such a long time to get myself together, spending time on leisure activities and so on for several years. My anxiety just became more prominent and I understood I won´t solve my problems on my own. I agree it would be good taking a shorter break but as I explained earlier, the T:s who offered reduced fees are not that many and often those slots offered at a reduced fee get scheduled pretty fast.

It´s because of that not just a matter of choosing a break or not, I have to take more perspectives into account. I saw a doctor for a referral to psychatric care and she sent a referral to two psychiatric clinics and they in just a few days denied taking me in as I didn´t have that severe diagnosis. As I don´t consider myself suicidal I couldn´t call such a hotline. There are some similar numbers to call but I don´t understand how such telephone calls could help me more than a T?

If a T thinks she can´t handle my issues, I´m really beginning to feel like a complete freak now, how could some person in a hotline handle them? Most often, you get to talk to them for about 20 minutes at most and often you have to call them several times to even get an answer.
