Not to make a fine point or jump into the argument but someone in my family had some random issues (vague much?).
Let's add that they were quite a harm to themselves (although high risk I doubt) and they got seen by the GP immediately, but an expert only got involved a month later.
Likewise when I had some trouble with anger management I was seen within the week. Then ignored for 3 months, then they rung up to see if I was suicidal, then ignored for 4 months....
NHS does an ok job for what it has to put up with to be honest. Friday and Saturday nights in this country (in A&E) cover everything wrong with English health IMO.
Take away the money pumped into looking after drunks/druggies and non-tax payers and our system would be the best in the world I reckon :D

Oh hell I am
Anyway, I'm guessing the NHS didn't discover about your problems from reading a chat forum, but because you spoke directly to them. In which case I'm thinking quite still, if you were in any real danger to yourself, you get taken within hours, not months.
I think I'm just trying to point out more not that it's a feeble excuse to see anyone for help or anything, but that there are people that are in real emergency psychological need that are of a higher priority. That's only why I take offence at the complaint, not for any lack of problems etc. I hope it goes well though, but they're actually here to help you, not cast you aside, it's just a case of priorities.

Homoeopathy is to do with diluting chemicals down to a form where they appear to be entirely pointless. The only evidence that ever seems to spring up is some old woman claiming in full belief that her dog got over cancer by drinking a gallon of water with a molecule of carbon in it.
Herbal remedies however I think have more scope, as it'd be like saying that smoking weed has absolutely no affect on the body. As for it's use for tinnitus? If it works I'd imagine it's to do with a certain chemical affect of the cannabis, and surely it'd make better sense to use medication that has that particular same affect, than risk overly meddling with your brain.

@Butch - I'd much rather pay for real help, though I would have to go to my father for the expenses, and that's something I'm not prepared to do.

No offence to you, but I think the reason people love them is because they've been dealing with people with more threatening problems than mood swings whilst you've had to wait.

I still have Biggles as a friend on an Xbox Live account.

Haha. I have to go to counselling today, I complained of moodswings two months ago and this is how long it took to get seen.
I don't see why everyone loves the NHS so much.

This guy goes out clubbing, pops an E and then claims his tinnitus seems quieter for a while so it works for him. But he is fooling himself. It's all about distraction techniques and if he isn't 'hearing' the noise after raving the night away then it has got to be down to what E is doing to his head.
