Hi there,

I've been suffering with panic attacks, heightened anxiety and health anxiety constantly for the past two months. I was referred to the mental health team for my local borough, and they have signed me up for the online CBT service, silvercloud. It doesn't seem to be helping at all, and my health anxiety and general feeling of being unwell is only getting worse. It all seems a bit patronising, and I am unable to understand how a computer programme can help me with the physical symptoms I am having. The NHS is so under strain, particularly where I live in London, that to see a therapist face to face is near impossible. Has anyone had any success with this online service? Because right now, I feel like giving up.

Thank you!
