I wasn't sure where to post this but since the main issue is HA I picked here.
So the other day I hit a complete crisis and told my partner what's been happening. She helped me book an emergency drs appointment and I went today. I was terrified of telling the doctor about HA so I wrote it all down and handed it to her whilst having a massive panic attack (like, I've never had one worse lol!). I was also worried about who I would see, so I'm relieved the appointment was with the new permanent gp so I can see her every time now and she's wonderful.
She listened when I said I wasn't sure of taking a drug I'd never had before and prescribed what I was comfortable with. I've been signed off for two weeks, given Fluoxetine and Diazepam (bit nervous about the Diazepam, hope I won't need it) and she referred me for counselling/therapy. I see her again in a week.
I couldn't have managed this if it wasn't for various people on here and another site listening and talking to me this week, so thank you.
I hope anyone in a similar position can get themselves to find help for the right things soon too. It's scary but such a relief when that first bit is done.
