My name is Endrit Krasniqi, I am 19 years old and I live in London where healthcare is free, however, mental health services are extremely understaffed, poorly funded, and in my opinion quite uninformed and there are really long waiting lists.
After struggling for two years without any treatment whatsoever, because I was continuously being referred to different services which all had long waiting lists and then when it was time for me to be seen by them, they would turn me away, because my case is too complicated, I have been forced to self-fund and pay all the fees.
I am struggling with not being able to get out of bed, self-neglect (not attending to my basic needs, such as hygiene, appropriate clothing and feeding) and an increase in suicidal thoughts and intentions and urges to self harm.
I am diagnosed with the following mental illnesses: borderline personality disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety and binge eating disorder and disordered eating
report from another psychiatrist
I have been sexually molested and physically, emotionally and mentally abused in my childhood as well as having witnessed my mother being raped on a daily basis (marital rape) in the same room. I have seen my siblings and my mother physically abused. I have been sexually touched and invited to sleep with my uncles when I was a child. I still live with my abuser.
Please help me raise money for my treatment and so I can become more independent and move out and start school again. I can’t do this alone. I need to pay for DBT group sessions which cost £110 per hour and last 2 hours per week, psychiatric assessments and follow up appointments, and 1 on 1 therapy which cost £120-£148 per week.
Here is the link to my fundraiser youcaring.com/helpendrit where you can find more information and pictures. I have done my best to provide all the proof I can, but if you want to request any more evidence please ask me.
Please reblog this post, queue this post, share this post with your friends on Tumblr and share the fundraiser on any other social networks you may have such as Facebook or Twitter.
Thank you,
Endrit
Even if you can’t donate, it would mean so much to me if you could reblog and help me make this post viral.
I’m sorry, I know this post might be annoyingly long and look “ugly” on your blog because it doesn’t match your blog’s aesthetic.. But I’m genuinely struggling to raise awareness and need your help.
I feel embarrassed and humiliated that I have to share very personal information about myself on the Internet but that’s what it has come down to and I am so deeply sorry, if you get the impression that I feel entitled to money PLEASE do not think this and send me hate. I’m really suicidal and really can’t take anymore insults right now.
“Relatable” mental illness text posts can get 400,000 notes, but when someone with actual mental illnesses is desperate and needs support and help, you ignore the text post? It’s quite disappointing that it has come down to this. My mental illnesses are trendy and trivialised, they’re “phases” or “aesthetics” and now when I ask for help it seems less serious because you think when someone says “I want to kill myself” it’s just a relatable text post. :(
Please don’t ignore this.
For people who can’t donate:
Sharing this post is still very helpful! I know not everyone is going to be able to donate. You might be too young and not have a credit or debit card, you might not have money, you could be in any predicament. I am not forcing you to donate money.
Please reblog this post, it will increase awareness and really help me. One of your followers might be in a position where they can actually donate.
