"Situational depression"

About: Talking Therapies Doncaster

(as the patient),

Due to the fact that my situation isn’t likely to change the only help I was offered was a stress buster workshop- I found this option to be pointless in my circumstances.

I live in a very stressful neighbourhood, it provokes high levels of stress, anxiety and low mood in me, I have tried in vain for years to be rehoused, just recently I witnessed a serious incident right outside my house, I reported this to police anonymously but they did not respect my wish to remain anonymous and attended my house anyway,  in full view of neighbours.

As a result, my mental health has spiralled out of control and I’ve been left feeling unsafe, lower than ever before, and totally hopeless in addition knowing I can’t get help with my mental state of mind while I remain in this situation. I am  attending a 1 hour weekly stress buster session and then returning to my stressful situation is very counterproductive in my opinion- I do want help but I’d like help that would actually help- I’m left completely lost now with nowhere to turn as my GP referred me to talking therapy and talking therapy are unable to help.
