I tried [selbsthilfeschweiz.ch](https://selbsthilfeschweiz.ch) but they had to put me on several waiting lists. It can therefore take many months before I can start discussing about this topic which is very important to me. I would be happy to join a Discord server or an inofficial group close to or in Bern.

How can there be waiting lists? Horrible.
Unfortunately, there is currently a severe shortage of therapists in Switzerland and it’s not uncommon for people to wait several months on a waiting list to get PTSD, Depression or a Burnout treated.
I actually don’t know why nobody in the media is talking about that. But such services went brutally downhill recently.
I recently tried to get some support for my teen who has been struggling. It was a complete nightmare. Weeks of no one returning my calls and then finally being refused by a therapist because of my lack of French ( my child is fluent). Only other person was on maternity leave. Luckily she has been improving but it was really difficult. I hope you are able to get some support soon.
Ask your Hausarzt for a transfer or recommendation. Maybe try the UPD in Bern. If you are a teacher you can also use the resources of the PH.
