I’m so sorry that this has happened to you! I’m very familiar with the Swedish healthcare system and I know that there’s a lot of rules and hard to get sick leave. But I’m curious - can you not still see a doctor at the clinic? I mean, if they only offered supportive chats, then thats not really treatment... so why can’t they offer you anything else?

I know that they normally only offer short time treatment like CBT, but can’t you try that? It might get you well enough so that you’ll be able to work a little bit, and then you can chose to see a private therapist who can treat you more?

I’m from Sweden and I only got to see a therapist that didn’t fit me at all. She could offer me like 5-10 sessions and that’s it. I stopped seeing her and after a while I had to start working again. I have panic attacks, a lot of anxiety and probably PTSD, but I didnt know then. Anyway, I managed to work full time for about 6 months until I crashed again. This time my father offered to pay for therapy. I’ve been in therapy since, it was two years ago, with two different terapists. Now I get therapy paid from my workplace (företagshälsovården). So I know how hard it is and I understand if you need something else than CBT or supportive chats.
