Hi VickieX
Don't dispair. Have you been to see your doctor? I know sometimes it can be hard to open up honestly to a doctor but do!!
Explain everything to him/her and don't be fobbed off. Ask about speaking to someone who understands your situation. I attended a councillor who helped me put things in perspective. As it is, with the councillor and listening to Dr Claire Weekes's mp3 audio files, I personally feel good now. I still have little bouts of anxiety but not to the extent I used to have them. As Dr Weekes explained, 'flashbacks' will occur but will get less and less in intensity the longer I stick with the technique.

i find it very hard to tell my doctor what goes through my head.
because all she says is
we can't prescribe any anti anxieties or anti depressants to people under the age of 18.
=(
so what the hell am i ment to do sit and suffer for the next two years making me feel worse =|

According to this from The Royal College of Psychiatrists
Quote:
Although none of the antidepressants are licensed for use in people under the age of 18, they can be prescribed by child and adolescent psychiatrists, after a careful assessment. Weekly monitoring of how the young person is feeling will happen in the first four weeks, and then regularly after that.
Re: I feel like an idiot ='( why do i bother.
Vickie, I had a lot of problems during my last year at college.
I spoke to my tutor before I went back after the summer about all my anxiety/panic problems and she explained how she could help.
I found a lot of my panic about going back to college came from 'what if's'. Once she provided solutions I felt a lot more relaxed.
Maybe you should speak to someone at your college?
Re: I feel like an idiot ='( why do i bother.
All my lectures at college knows about it, but they dont do anything about it =(
one of my lectures is going to talk to my tutor (FINALLY) but its taken them so long =(

Oh Vickie, hang in there. It can be hard and I really hope you get all the support you need.
It might be worth gong back to your doctor, has your college got a good counselling service or support group.
If you can achieve blotting out the "what if's" then you can turn the situation around.
Take loads of care and you will will alright.
GOOD LUCK.
Re: I feel like an idiot ='( why do i bother.
I see a CBT therapist out of education, my
docor does nothing, she's rubbish.
Thanks for the reply though.
I've been at college since september, and its rubbish, 100% rubbish all because of the anxiety =/
