Hello mouse81, this is my first posting on the forum so hope I can help a little. Is it any wonder your feeling panicky after the tough time you've had lately??? your body is trying to tell you it's very tired at the moment and needs a bit of time to come to terms with the things that have happened in your life.. Anxiety is a very powerful thing and can be sooo debilitating at times you know. Please think seriously regarding the counselling though what have you got to lose?? Take care x

Hello everyone, this is my first time on any kind of forum. I just need to talk really, I have had a very severe form of health anxiety for many years having peaks at different times in my life. I'm so desperate for this c*ap to end I hope I don't wake up in the morning if I do actually go to sleep at the mo ( changing meds not sleeping). I've had everything you can possibly imagine wrong with me (in my head) but sometimes physical symptoms too. My latest problem started a few months ago with itching shall we say to be polite in my nether regions gp given loads of different creams etc, Ive asked the obvious question regarding the C word and she said it's deffo not that. Now I'm panicking cos I've got a hard yellow lump in the area and a brown spot on the outside, so yes you guessed it i'm going back again in the morning to the gp I can't eat or think because i'm soooo terrified. Anyway, thanks for listening.

Hi mouse81, I'm also quite new to the forum, my GP referred me to NHS mental health service for counselling, I waited for 5 months after my initial assesment to get an appointment so ended finding a local counselling service that took self referals (dont know if I'm allowed to say the name on here, so i wont just incase) but they have been fab. By they time my NHS appointment came through I had waited a total of 9 months and by that time I had almost finished the counselling that I found on my own. As curly says, seriously think about the counselling as I dont know what I would have done without it. Unfortunatley there is no set waiting time for NHS so it may be a long wait, hope its not too long for you (if you decide to give it a go) and that you get the help you deserve, we are all here in the meantime if you need to talk :hugs:
