The Scale of the Problem

CAMHS rejected my referral and put me on a two-year waiting list so I had to self-study for my GCSEs… I believe that if someone had intervened when I was still in school I wouldn’t have the chronic mental health problems that I will now probably battle for the rest of my life.
