So recently I finally got around to telling my local GP that I had a problem and needed help. So we talked for a bit and eventually she told me that therapy was my best bet (after all but flat out denying anti-depressants to me due to my age+gender). She said that she'd get in contact with a clinic or whatever and they'd give me a call sometime.
Now it's been 2 weeks and, well, I'm wondering how long it takes to throw a quick call my way. Does anyone with experience in the UK mental health system know anything about the process/how long they take to call people? I practically told my doctor that I was close to suicidal and I'd really rather get help sooner or later before I did something stupid, but I feel like this delay is just holding me back from proper treatment.
In hindsight I should've asked about the waiting period...
