Hi, I'm 22 and have been dealing with anxiety/depression for as long as I can remember really. I have been in-patient (for social phobia, self harm and eating disorder) and had various medications over the years, none of which seemed to make much of a difference. My eating issues were supposedly "cured" but now seem to be back and getting worse every day. I've now stupidly made myself scared to eat anything at all, from reading about people finding 'things' in their food :scared15: - yes I know, clever.

I am prescribed 100mg Sertraline but have not taken it in the past week because has done no good in the 4 or so months I've been taking it.
I was referred to a psych who was supposed to be discussing my err 'case' with his colleagues and finding someone more suitable (read; not a middle aged man) to help me, but that was over a month ago and I've heard nothing, so I assume they want nothing to do with me :rolleyes:

Phew, well I feel really whiny now so I'll leave it there:blush:
