how can i deal with a mental health team that says they want to take things slow, and carefully? want?me to under go an assesment for psychotherapy which they say will take time, plus they said there setting up ocupational therapy to, which is another period of assesment where i won't actually be doing nothing yet.

where im coming from is im tired of it, im 30 years old, have bpd and struggled mentally since 16. ive never done anything with my life, never achieved qualifications, never had friends or a girlfriend.
i cant even get my psychiatrist to perscribe me any xanax for my extreme anxiety which prevents me going out. the psyche said there addictive and is reluctant to perscribe them.


so im waiting around, apartment bound going through all these lengthy assesments to see if therapy is right for me.

when my top ambition is to move on with my life and quickly..i want to emigrate from the uk and go back to france or further out, build a new life.
so im eager to move on, i dont like britain and want to move away..but i feel kept down by 'the system'
what should i do here?

You should stay there and get better... then move away if you still want to

Do whatever you think is best for you. There is no sense in waiting. It is your life, do not let anybody tell you how to live it.
As for the anxiety, there are other medications that your doctor could give you that is less addicting. Good luck to you. Your in charge of your life!!!!

While you are waiting for the assessments to be completed I would try and keep busy and keep my mind off the issues as much as possible. You need to set some short goals for yourself that you can see some immediate results with. You could get some daily exercise by just taking a walk around your neighborhood, write in a journal, call or visit friends, get some books from the library to name a few things. You may want to try another psychiatrist because there are many drugs that can be prescribed and if one doesn't work then anohter might. Good luck.
