I hadn't realised you were already so deep in the process of rethinking things, so apologies for the redundance! Vis-a-vis the therapist, I think you mostly just mentioned that broadly as seeking out mental health help. I do hope that your wait is short!

If the wait is too long and you can afford it, it might also make sense to contact private therapists in your area, which might have shorter wait times.

Annoyingly I've already been waiting three weeks since contacting my GP just to hear from the occupational therapist who'll then probably direct me to a counsellor or therapist, so if this has already taken that long then I dread to think how long the later steps will take.

I've thought about private ones, but I really don't know if I can afford it, considering how little I earn. Apparently they charge between 40 and 150 GBP per hour-or-so-long session, which would be no big deal if I had a decent salary, but since I don't, it is.

That makes sense. Thinking about it as a percentage of your current income, it would be a major expense. Though if you have any savings, it might make sense thinking about it in terms of an investment, where improvements in waiting time or quality of the sessions might pay significant dividends for you in the future.
