"Talking therapies work"

About: Talking Therapies Doncaster

(as a service user),

I lost all interest in life. It had been going on years gradually getting worse till it felt like it was normal. And then there was nothing else left for me. Raised as i was men didnt talk about their problems we didnt even acknowledge that we had them. We just toughed it out. So i did i hid behind a smile but it grew and then the aggressive behaviour started. Finally got so bad i wanted to die.

I was going through a really bad time lost my job. Finally saw a doctor and went to see them broke down and cried. I started talking therapy put the effort in to the therapy and it worked now I am the happiest I have been for years. Its scary to go and admit it. But its worth doing .

And now its easier to get help and more people including employers. If you need help get it.

Hi Yeti,

My name is Rachel and I am one of the Team Managers for Doncaster Talking Therapies.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. It is lovely to hear how the support you received has led to you being the happiest you have ever been. Well done for taking that first step, in seeing your doctor, as I know how hard that can be. Its wonderful to hear about how far you have come since then.

Many thanks again

Rachel
