I was wrong sorry head is all over the place. My anxiety got bad and I thought you would all think badly of me I do apologise.

I mainly post on the bipolar section so bare with me. This is my only proper diagnosis.

I suffer from both general and social anxiety. I'm currently on no medication to help with the anxiety as my team don't want to give me anything. I was on Serequol but my ECG was off so they stopped it. I've been flying solo without meds to combat the anxiety for about a year. My anxieties are high. Even writing this is hard going.

I was receiving CBT for 13 sessions but my Psychologist was a Trainee and left. As it was the end of her placement. I was under a Psychologist who took me for a further 8 sessions then discharged me cause I was off my meds. I'm apparently on a waiting list to see Psychology again but it's been nearly 7 months. I still have the paperwork we were doing but can't seem to figure out my anxieties as well as the Trainee helped me see.

My anxieties are here from the minute I wake up to the minute I go to sleep. Then while I'm sleeping they come with a vengeance and I'm having nightmares/night terrors and panic attacks. I get anxious sitting in the house, talking on the phone, writing emails, going outside, onto public transport, wandering around town etc. I can't even go food shopping without it impacting on that I have to call someone to pick me up.

I guess I'm here to see how you all cope. I'm struggling here. Sorry for being an idiot earlier. If this isn't appropriate I understand.
