Every solution came with a catch
Asking for help was hard. Finding it was harder.
Public hospitals
- ×Fear of affecting job prospects. The diagnosis goes on record.
- ×Long waits. You wait 42 days on average before you're seen.*
- ×No continuity. Rarely the same doctor twice.
Private clinic websites
- ×Hard to compare. Reviews are thin and inconsistent.
- ×No matching. You guess who might fit.
- ×No in app booking. Call or email just to start.
Online services
- ×Choice overload. Too many options and no way to pick.
- ×Privacy concerns. Unclear what happens to your data.
- ×Lengthy onboarding. A long sign-up before you get anywhere.
Friends & family
- ×Fear of being judged. It feels scary, even embarrassing.
- ×They can't guide you. They've never been through it.
- ×No follow-up. It fades after one chat.
So I second-guessed, hesitated, and put off getting help.
