I Am Tired Of Being Told I Don't Meet The Criteria For Support

Over and over again, I have applied for help with my mental and physical problems, and have been told I'm too high functioning, I'm not entitled to support, I'm not eligible for this programme or that I do not meet the criteria for this team. Explain to me how my psychology referral stating I have attempted suicide five times I have a lot of traits of Borderline personality disorder, including dangerous impulsivity and promiscuity, and have at least two panic attacks a day, be rejected from the psychology department saying they don't think I need the support? Also my referral for an Aspergers team in the part of England I live in says, I'm not eligible because I'm too high functioning, the pain management course I applied for says I don't meet ther criteria because although I've suffered from chronic pain for 14 years, they believe I haven't tried hard enough in physio... Then to add insult to injury benefits people are telling me I'm not trying hard enough to get financial support, I am unable to work according to the doctors... so in summary I'm too disabled to work (which in itself is bullshit they just can't be bothered to put in place the support I'd need) but I'm not disabled enough to get medical or financial support, hmmmm somethings not quite working here!
