hi Tricia I'm sorry you're feeling so troubled anxiety is such a horrible disorder. Psychiatrists deal with medication, making sure you're getting the right one for you and making changes if necessary. CBT obviously isn't working for you so if you go to a psychiatrist who might suggest some medications which will help you to get in a better place where you can maybe make more progress with CBT techniques or perhaps CBT just won't work for you and you have to try something else, another therapy. But if you get some medication then maybe you'll be in a more calm state so that whatever therapy you get will be more effective

hi tricia56, It sounds to me as if you've got a really good doctor and they're recommending further help as CBT just wasn't for you. It's not unusual for CBT not to work.....so keep on in there....you're on the right road :hugs:x
