Hey guys and girls my name is Jordan and this is a small part of my story
Probably like everyone else here I am suffering from all the wounderful and colour affects of ptsd. That has let to sever generalised anxiety disorder and ocd I have been suffering bad for over a year now but over the last two months it has really hit me soo hard it has left me crippled with physical symptoms. I started off running to the hospital all the time with chronic chest pains everything kept going back normal, insomnia started then leaving me broken and going days without sleep then managing to sleep for a couple of hours after being awake for days, I was on a waiting list for 3minths to start my counciling treatment and on Tuesday had my first session for him to call me up today to tell me he has had to have his senior psychologiest review my session and they have said they cannot treat me or help me any further so I have been put back on another waiting list to see people who specialise in trauma. Sorry for the long post but there is still soo much I haven't put in. I am just struggling and worried that I am gonna be on another waiting list for months again. I am literally numb to everything my family is struggling to get though to me and my partner she is suffering badly bcoz of me too. I just dont have no idea what to do next. I am in desperate need of professional help but a waiting list can be ages.
Thanks if you took the time to read this.

Hi Jordan
?I was so sorry about your situation. It certainly confirms the 'I am not the only one' feeling. It's so sad that there is so little to help people. I broke my neck in 7 places in a near fatal accident in June '17. I found that I got really bad PTSD symptoms - that was a self diagnosis because I have, like you, never got to see a specialist. I went to my GP in December and they offered me either medication (which I didn't want) and referred me to 'Lets talk' - a Leicester and rutland based counselling. It took over 3 months to get an appointment and then a day before the appointment I got a message to say it was cancelled - and further to that a letter to say that the lady running it would not be in for a further 3 weeks.
?Unreal... but having heard your story I am sure that the place is filled with similar cases. I was told by the lets talk team that mental health services are severely oversubscribed in my area - and it would seem many others.
?Anyway this lack of help available - not just for me but I guess loads of others - made me feel so sorry for people in the same boat and probably worse off than me. I was fortunate that I was able to help myself a bit as I have spent 15 years working in a personal development place in Thailand and India where we ran courses for people over the world. It has made me start to think that maybe I should set up a local self help group - like voluntary or something like that free of charge to offer these ideas to people so they can help themselves. I just see that there is not too much help around...

Morning tam,..
Thanks you for the reply, I hear what you are saying and makes it easier to talk to someone who as a idea of what someone is going through. I have actually been diagnosed with ptsd and all the other things I have. And the fact that I have multiple trauma just doesn't make it any better either. Bcoz one episode of ur life can only been treated on its own so I'll have to get the multiple issue sorted out separately if that makes sense. I just hate the severe symptoms I get daily. Do you have any really bad symptoms that are a direct cause of your ptsd or anxiety etc. It's just soo much to list everything and It absolutely horrible and destressin for me to explain the problem. That cause it all. But like now I feel super light headed and so detached but half an hour ago I was thinking I was going to have a great day.
I believe if someone set up a kinda support group like you said around my area I would surely go and check it out. Its a good idea maybe look into it.
I also can relate to you hope you are getting relief from your incident and on the road to getting better. I can also relate to that but not as bad as yours for sure. I had a spell in my life where I damaged my spine. I was unable to walk for 8 months docs said I may never have full use of one of my legs again. Still to this day u suffer from terrible pain. And I bet you know all too well about pain constantly grinding you down right?
