    Hi @ellie2000

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out.

    I am really pleased to hear you received an email about the referral. It is always a good first sign.

    Who is the referral for? Referrals take different amounts of time :3

    Hi @ellie2000

    Thanks for reaching out to us. I always appreciate how much courage it must take to reach out.

    Sorry to hear you don't understand what I mean. Just to clarify, I meant who have you been referred to? / who is meant to be supporting you once the referral goes through?

    Knowing this information will help me to guide you on the expected waiting times.

    Are you able to talk to anyone about your feelings and what you have been diagnosed with? It sounds like you have a lot to process at the moment.

    We are here for you as a listening ear if that would help.

    Maybe even just writing down your feelings could help you to process your feelings and what you have been diagnosed with if you don't feel comfortable talking to people.

    In your life, you have friends, family, support services, and many more people like teachers and anyone else you can trust who cares about you.

    It is not that something is wrong with you but rather that we all care about you and want to make sure you are okay and not have to face things alone.

    Talk allows you to offload to another person so you don't have to bottle up how you are feeling. Talk also allows you to reflect whilst you speak which may help you to process things.

    If you prefer for them to lead the support then they may also help you to find strategies for managing your difficulties. However, that's not the main benefit, sometimes you just need someone who will lend you an ear to listen.

    Through talking they can understand more about what you are experiencing but also help you to process what you are experiencing. Together you can find a way forwards or at least feel less alone :3

    Hi @ellie2000

    I am sorry to hear you feel your screams and cries did not work. In what way do you feel they did not work? Did you not feel heard? We hear you.

    He shouldn't be annoyed but he may see the message and respond to you sooner if you email him at the email address he has requested :3

    Hi @ellie2000

    I am really sorry to hear people thought you were fibbing. It must be really tough to experience that and certainly not what you deserve. The right people will listen to you and believe you so keep trying to reach out.

    I think you are courageous in still trying to reach out despite having experienced this. We are listening to you and we believe you :3
