Hi john

Great news that your all ok and 10/10 for your dr not just palming you off with medication. I really belive in talking thorugh and being honest about your feelings. Talking about your feelings is a really good way of helping control/get rid of anxiety (well it has been for me) allowing time out for yourself to relax maybe listen to music and do things you enjoy doing and make you happy. I hope you get yourself sorted if things dont get any better for you perhaps go and see yoru doctor again and take up a bit of councelling to get your head around things and the way your feeling.

Love & Hugs from Sarah-Jane xxxx

Wow , that is really unusual for the USA not to want to use medication first line. Good for him for trying another option first.

Ring the clinic and hopefully get some CBT very soon before you get into worse habits.

Hi John

Sounds like you have a great doctor, as to my little knowledge thought the first thing they did would give out tablets.

So he has reassured you that every thing is okay and is anxiety, so hope we can help you understand that and help you. Read some of the posts and it does help to realise you are not alone.

Look forward to hearing how you are getting on.

Love Sal xx


Dont mess up the best things in your life, just because at present you are unsure who you are.

Great news

At least he isn't just reaching the prescription pad. When can you start getting some help then?
