TW: mental health struggles

Trigger warning - Self-harm, suicidal thoughts

Hello I’m a 24 year old man, I have autism, ocd, anxiety and depression, I may have adhd as well but I don’t know how I should go about getting it diagnosed.

Basically I moved homes 3 months ago and the change has been major for me, mentally I have slowly started to get worse and worse, I’ve felt lonely on days my brother works, so a month ago we got a dog thought it would help, sadly not my mentality slowly declined, so at this point I’m struggling with a eating disorder, and also 1 day since last self harming.

I struggle with a voice in my head telling me to do things and then visions as well showing me things happening, [removed by moderator]

yesterday I had my first therapy appointment with talking therapies I explained everything and the person was very kind and told me plans of what to do, I gave my [removed by moderator] to my brother which has been a struggle because today all I kept thinking about was getting another but I know it won’t help, but my therapist contacted the crisis team, I got off the phone and then had a knock at the door and the crisis team arrived

they asked me different questions and asked to see my self harm and then we made plans to make my medication into weekly prescriptions, move my medication into another room and referring myself to a mental health team in my area.

I’m struggling a lot and trying so hard to keep myself occupied and keep myself talking to people when I’m hearing or seeing things, I’m just hoping I get more professional help as I know waiting lists are long at the moment

Hi @Eyates02, I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling so much. It seems like you've taken some really good steps to look after yourself. Is this the first time you've tried talking therapies? How did you find it?

I've sent you a private message, so be on the lookout for that. I also had to remove a part of your post that was too graphic. You've done nothing wrong at all so please don't worry.
