Somebody please help me (losing hope)

Nova Madz

For anyone I am asking for desperate help I've known all my life and came out at twenty three, I'm twenty six now and have made no progress, I was with a therapist and asked about three times to be put on the list, when I was twenty three and told they'd get on it and put on a long waiting list which could be about eighteen months i rang them for two could have been three years and all I was told was be patient its a long wait until i eventually got fed up and told them how long ive been waiting to which they responded that I was never on the list now i'm waiting to see another therapist to start this again but I honestly can't wait any longer my family disowned me and ive been living with no place for the past threee years since I came out, does anyone know anyone who can help because I honestly don't think I can wait much longer ive already attempted to take my own life and don't know how much longer I can keep on pushing on, I really need help bad.
