[QUOTE="Ashleighrose414, post: 2563698, member: 468985"] Bit of a late update as for some reason I didn't get notifications that anyone had replied! I spoke to my Diabetes team as well as a community DSN, both referred me to my local NHS counselling service but after speaking with them they said it seemed that given how much therapy I've already had, the extensive variety of therapies I have tried and the 4 month waiting list for an initial session, it was unlikely they would be able to offer anything that would be beneficial for me, which is obviously frustrating but I'm glad they were honest rather than letting me wait to tell me that. My diabetes specialist did mention that it was possible to be referred to King's for specific therapy, though she seemed reluctant to do this despite me literally being at my limit in terms of my tolerance for my diabetes. She is also reluctant to refer me for a pump, I'm not sure if that is because of my state of mind or if they just don't want to waste the money on me if im not 'trying' to look after myself. [USER=474433]@Fenn[/USER] I'm glad you provided some backstory tbh, I also find that im particularly skeptical of therapy and other holistic treatment even though I have a psychology degree and very much understand the benefits, so I'm glad to see that even despite feeling like it wouldn't work, it still did.
