    Your situation is a bit different to mine but I was told on 3 separate occasions that I wasn't ready for therapy. And I do agree with them, as it took me such a huge amount of effort just to get to the first assessment each time.

    The reason for this is that I was struggling to physically travel to the place, and manage basic tasks like eating & drinking and using the bathroom where I live. Meaning I couldn't cope with the additional stress of therapy on top. In my case, I need minimum of a more suitable property before I would have the opportunity to cope with therapy. But there's just no help in accessing a more suitable property without having specific physical conditions. Honestly I don't see any realistic way of ever being ready for therapy now.

    He is in school and I ended up speaking to them and they said they were going to appeal it.Im not sure if they were just saying that to pacify me.But they said I could tell my son he has his extra time so

    People always have a tendency to jump in and think my son is need or will be affected as a consequence of how I am.zwhich I am all to aware of and which is why im trying to get help to get rid of these past issues.I think for the most part I speak/write quite rationally and hopefully that comes across.Even yesterday in the depths of losing my mind I knew my sons safety was a priority and that was what was on my mind and giving me such hightened anxiety.

    @OverlyAnxious I think its ok if you agree with them and perhaps there might be a time when you will feel.ready.But now that I've verbalised the things I've not spoken about for over 15 years its incredibly terrifying almost impossible to bear.I know that sounds very over dramatic especially as im writing it down.but im trying to distance myself from my own words to get it across.
