I'm a carer for my dd who is 20, she has asd and ptsd, anxiety, depression, personality disorder, and other stuff....I'm with her 24/7 as social worker and mental health team say she's high risk suicide....we have asked for help and treatment for my dd but keep getting refused, excuse is dd can't have treatment from mental health services as she has asd, been to the gp who says it's a mums job to get her better not anyone elses, just get on with it. tried social services but they don't seem to give a sh*t. I have been up now for 72hrs as she's not sleeping and all she keeps saying is she wants to die, I have complained to pals etc, the outcome of this is we don't offer the services your dd needs, maybe in the next couple of years we might but can't promise anything due to cuts. I have also tried a solicitor, they say nhs can refuse treatment to anyone, it's not discrimination, nice guidelines state what treatment my dd should be receiving. I'm so tired she's been trying to get hold of knifes and meds all night, how do we carry on without help?
