    Thank you for opening up about this @bignosegirly0 . It sounds like you've been doing a lot of thinking about how you could support yourself further at this time, and mental health medication is something you're strongly considering.

    It sounds like seeing your GP has been extremely tough, due to difficulty travelling there due to your family's lack of support for your mental health struggles. That sounds isolating, and I can imagine that might feel lonely and frustrating. I really hear you trying to take care of yourself and to access the support you wish for and deserve.

    I'm wondering, might it be possible to request an online consultation with a GP? Or a telephone / video consultation so you're able to have that conversation from home?

    It sounds like you've already identified some other possible next-steps too, which is really positive. Like talking to your therapist, and also, possibly being able to collect meds from Boots.

    Organizations such as Rethink (https://www.rethink.org/) also offer advice and information around mental health medications if helpful, and NHS 111.

    I noticed you've mentioned feeling suicidal and very, very 'close to the edge'. That sounds very intense to be coping with, and I hear how overwhelming it gets. Please know the following spaces are here for you if ever you're struggling to cope or keep safe:
