"Still waiting"

Suffering with depression and anxiety since August 2017 i finally built up enough courage to engage in counselling mid December 2017. After being advised by my GP to try Insight i made an online referral and waited for a call back. After not hearing anything for 3 weeks, i followed up my online referral with a call. I was promptly booked in for an assessment telephone call on the Friday before Christmas. On completion of my assessment call i was advised of the treatment i would receive and then told i would be contacted when an appointment became available. After waiting for over 8 weeks i decided to follow up with a phone call to be told that there is somewhere between 10-16 week wait to enter treatment. I am now 18 weeks post assessment and still have not heard anything about my treatment. It's disgusting how there can be so little information given and no realistic expectations. Whilst i appreciate how pressurised the NHS in general is and especially the mental health service, it's so dangerous to leave vulnerable and distressed patients on a waiting list, with little or no contact.
