Hi
I normally post on the phobia bit coz i have Emetophobia but this is causing me to have really bad anxiety especially at the moment and i dont understand why its gotten so bad.:weep: Over the past week ive been feeling sick constantly from the minute i leave my flat until the minute i get back into my flat. Ive gone from being able to go to London alone (2wks ago)to see my partner to just about being able to get on the bus to town (a 5min trip) with my hands sweating and panicking that im gonna be sick. Im suppose to be moving to London in 3 1/2 wks and at the moment I dont think i can handle it. My GP doesnt have a clue and prescribed me Citralopram and Sertaline but because of the side effects I wont take them and told my gp that the only time i was living a fully functioning life without anxiety was when i had 2mg of valium a day for a month which my gp then stopped as he said it was too addictive and i should go to the gym instead.
Anyway i saw a man from the mental health team last wk who said i should see a pyschiatrist but because i work with children I cant as if they found out i could lose my job and not be able to work with children again. (so much bad stigma around mental health! its soooo annoying!)
Anyway if anyone can help or has been in the same situation where theyve been oka but suddenly gone downhill with no reason! i would be so greatful.
Thanks for reading:)
