Hi
GP,s don,t really understand unless they are experts in this area. I think you might need therapy so they can understand but your GP needs to refer you.
Try to stay positive, if you need to chat we can talk in the chat room if you like.

Hi Emma
Don't give up and don't give in. It is really hard but you will get on top of this. How long have you had the anxiety? ANd how long have you been back in the UK?
Do phone the Samaratians if you need chat ( and obviously use us lot on here too). They should have some ideas for support for you. They are also very good listeners.
What has your Dr said? Are they keeping a close eye on you? Have they mentioned therapy or altering the medication?
Have you looked at other options e.g acupuncture, reiki etc? None of them cure it and neither do meds but they can help to ease your mind and calm down the overdrive you are in.
But don't give up because it won't always be like this. Hugs xxx
hi i went to see the gp yesterday and told tem that after 8 weeks im still sleeping but my anciety is getting worse im always soo nervous it all started when i had a pain in my back and no one new why and then the gp out there said take anti depressants for 3 weeks to see if it goes, when she told me that i just become so anxious and couldn't stop panicing i have been back in the uk for 8 weeks and the anxcity is getting worse nothing seems to help i always feel sick and like i need to go to the loo i also shake all the time i tried taking an overdose (cry for help) but they just sent me home i dont think they undersand how ill this is making me, im thinking about going in hospital to seee if they can help get me a little calmer and settled, my mum is so upset though she wants me to stay with her but i dont seem to be getting better at home. i just want to feel a little better so i can get my kids back who i love dearly. death isn't an option as i love my family so much but i just cant cope with the way i feel.
I hate to tell you this but the hospital can't stop this Emma... I know how you feel though - the feeling of impatience of waking up and feeling the same as the day before. It is gradual thing and will take time to get better. I thought I would go mad cos' I needed to get better right now. But it was when I stopped fighting my mind and began to take things alittle slower that I began to get better.
Go back to the GP. Print this off or write down how you feel and plead for help or see another GP. Those meds might not be the ones for you. There's other meds so don't give up hope there. Everyone is different and everyone reacts differently to things.
What about acupuncture or similiar to just help you to calm and get a grasp on life again? it costs but it can really help. Google a few in the area you live in and see who specialises in anxiety. I see an Osteopath who really helps me. But it is not an instant fix - your body has to retrain itself to stop being anxious and panicky.
It's easy to think that people don't care. Especially when you are in the throws of anxiety. But they do care, they just don't understand fully what you are going through.
Unless you have suffered anxiety yourself, you can never have the slightest comprehension of what it is like. Hospital a+e departments are doctors who are trained in emergencies and trauma. I used to end up in A+E with panic attacks every other week, but they are not skilled in the handling of it. I just got fobbed off to my GP who has helped me a lot so far.
Like samc100 mentioned.. have you considered therapy or counselling. Sometimes talking, even if it isn't about any specific troubles, really helps open a flood gate and relax you.
All the best.
Hello
I am sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time. It does get better - you wont believe that now but it does. When you say admitted to hospital for help in order to get you less anxious - do you mean a general hospital or a mental health unit within an hospital? I have been in both for anxiety/nervous breakdown/feeling suicidal due to how ill I was, although I never attempted suicide as I truly believe my life is not mine to take, whatever I feel, anyway, if you go in through A&E, you will be treated medically and assessed, none of the gps will sit, pull up a chair and discuss your anxiety at any length, they make a medical diagnosis, advise you to see your own gp to arrange medication and counselling - that was my experience anyway, however I was also referred to see the pyschiatrist, whilst I was kept in hospital overnight, who then recommended the mental health until within the hospital, either as an in patient or a day patient. .... I never ever thought I would live to see a day again where I would feel remotely slightly better let alone well and now I am 99% recovered and I dont ever take a day for granted and I cannot believe I feel as I do. Its like I am a whole new person and having a breakdown taught me a lot of positive things...You will get better, for now you cant see that as you are not well but please have hope and keep telling yourself that life is not always going to be this bad for you. In hospital you will receive the help you need, by way of counselling, medication, (sometimes its a matter of just trying different ones in order for you to find that works best for you) and learning how to relax - you will be around people that are in similar situations to yourself and it gives you a chance to get the help you need in order to recover. You will get the support you need there. This time last year I looked like a skeleton, couldnt eat, was sick several times a day due to anxiety, and had panic attacks several times a day, I literally could not move at times the anxiety was that bad - I was rigid almost, I had derealization and depersonalisation...the list of anxiety symptoms was endless...I really could not cope, I was really ill. I am a totally different person now..I feel great, I love life, I dont anything for granted, I dont stress over the small things anymore, I have learned how to look after myself a lot better and have learnt how to relax properly. I still get agoraphobic at times, and sometimes experience anxiety feelings, - I have gone onto citalopram for this as I not ending up where I was last year, but I am dealing with that. The citalopram has made me feel so much better but I also combine it with therapy, self help, exercise, plenty of sleep and relaxation, and an anti anxiety diet - I gave up smoking and alcohol as this affects my anxiety. I combine every negative anxious thought with a positive thought immediately after. I am not 100% recovered but getting there...Honestly please dont think you will always feel as bad as you do, because you can get better. I know it is hard to think positive when you are as down as you are, but try...tell yourself you are going to get better, you are not going to be beaten by this, you are going to get well and see your family again. It is so easy to get wrapped up in being negative when you feel so unwell but try as hard as you can to keep some positve thoughts. I wish you all the best and I really hope you start to feel better, which you will do if you take all the help that is offered.
