Hi, my name is JoelH!

I've had mental health problems for many years - my medical record says mild to moderate depression (who has mild depression lols) but it really varies. I have problems with anxiety and hoarding along side periods of very low mood where I struggle to do even basic self care stuff.

Hey there @JoelH and a warm welcome to the community. 😊

If you need help with anything, please just ask away and we'll all do our best to support you.
Or if you just fancied a light hearted chat, or a few easy games, I'd recommend checking out the coffee lounge and the games den.

Can I just check, are you receiving support from your GP with your moods and hoarding tendencies?

I have been on antidepressants for some time but I have not been able to find services to help support me with the hoarding. I have had help from a national charity but nothing locally. The lack of support has actually damaged my relationship with services. I have been referred 3 times to my local social.services and it's been diminishing returns each time - the last te they just gave me.the phone number of a cleaning company who would simply chuck all my.stuff in a skip.

Thank you for responding i had been in touch with them however i have already used their one to one support so i assume i cant use that again and i have tried to join their support groups but get no replies to emails.

HI @JoelH. I'm sorry they haven't got back to you. I'm wondering if there's a bit of a wait time which is why they haven't been in touch yet. Have you used their contact form? I hope they get back to you soon and that you can use the one to one support again.
