    Oh no don’t say that! I have my assessment under right to choose on Thursday and I’m already worried!

    I had to wait 18 months just for my GP to refer me. I spent 3x as long waiting for a referral as I did on the actual waiting list. If I did it via the NHS, it would have been another 18 months on top of that 18 months.

      My assessment came soooo late I was in my 20s, but when I started looking into it my psychiatrist basically said inchallah and tossed Ritalin at me to check. Fuck the hospital wait list 🤷

      Oh, I fully believe it - and I don’t think they should bin off people already on the waiting lists. My objection is towards the NHS paying a few grand to a private company for each assessment, even if it’s shit, as opposed to being properly funded to do it themselves. You have my sympathies.
