Hi everyone!
Well I have made a decision that I am going to try and book an appointment to see my doctor. Unfortunatly my doctors surgery has a silly system where if you want an appointment you have to ring the morning you want the appointment and pray they have appointments left :wacko:
I find that there seems to be a nice receptionist that always manages to fit me in even if it means an end of surgery appointment, but there is another receptionist who is not so nice and they always seem to be fully booked when I ring up and its her :mad:
I'm hoping I get the nice receptionist when I ring tomorrow!
Anyway enough rambling! The reason I am booking the appointment is I have a few problems I need checking out.
And also one big decision I have made that I want to talk through with my doctor and that is possibly going on medication for my anxiety.
I'm still not 100% sure about it as I do worry about side effects but I will be able to talk that through with the doctor.
I am just sitting here getting myself in a state just thinking of going tomorrow and I don't even know if I will get an appointment yet! :wacko:
I just wondered what other peoples advice on here would be about the idea of going on medication.
The reason I never wanted to go on medication before now is 1 I wanted to be able to deal with my anxiety myself without the help of meds or having to rely on meds and 2 i was worried about the side effects :shrug:
Now I am seriously considering going on medication because I am not coping with my anxiety well and I feel I need some kind of help to help me get out and about again. I know if i felt a little better then I'd be able to go out places easier rather than staying indoors like a hermit :weep:
Any advice on the possible upcoming appointment tomorrow would be appreciated.
What do I say to the doctor? What medication would be best?
Also anyone elses experiences would be good to hear.
Thanks in advance, I'm in a right state at the mo! :wacko:
