i dont know if anyone else has experienced this but i found getting treatment when i was a teenager much easier
like from 15-19 the waiting lists were short, referrals straight away, weekly or twice weekly appointments
but then i had to leave the 16-19 service last year when i turned 19 and due to some issues i failed to turn up to my last few sessions and hence wasnt referred straight to adult services and so have had to go through my gp, and 6 months down the line my gp is still my only support
what im basically saying is it seems to me that with adult services you have to fight to get the help, whereas you dont in camhs and 16-19 service
though in a way it has some positives cus it really has made me try to help myself more
hope some of that made sense
