Been going through hell the last few months with stress on top of stress. Been trying to see a psych since march and have not heard back from the ones I've called or emailed. Does anyone know of a psychologist who does appointments by phone or Skype etc as I feel like I am getting worse and worse and really need to speak to someone about it

@Dynamics Welcome to the forums.
I’m sorry things are so hard for you at the moment.
Have you talked to your GP about seeing a psychiatrist In your area, they can do referrals ?
Or even talk to your Dr, so he/she knows how bad it is getting for you.
I wish you all the best, and hope you find someone.

Hi Maggie,
I have a referral from my Doctor but the psychologist on there has not responded to me at all so I have been looking for another one.
I have called and emailed at least 5 different psychologists and none have returned contact with me which is making me feel even worse.

@Dynamics I’m really sorry to hear that, and understand how it would make you feel worse.
Would it be helpful to go back to your Dr, and let them know ?
A forum tip I forgot to mention. The @brings a dropdown, that’s how we tag each other, and know to reply. Otherwise we might miss it.
