Hi Everyone
i m not quite new to this forum but haven’t been on for few years( Originally joined in 2010)
i suffer from anxiety & agoraphobia. Currently off meds for past 20 months but found myself in place again when I m struggling to go out again, I wake up every morning with awful anxiety feeling and as my main symptoms are needing to pee and getting stomach pains which makes me need to go for no2 too.
So basically going to work , to shops, or anywhere is really hard right now and thinking if I should go back on medication.
I have done self referral suggested by Gp for counselling and after having initial session over the phone the suggested to go for exposure therapy however that’s something I have to wait for and they were unable to tell me how long I will have to wait, could be weeks could be months :blush:.
in the mean time not sure what shall I be doing.
i know that in a way I m lucky that I m not entirely housebound that I do manage to get to work and back but it takes lot of effort.
