Yes feeling scared is part of it at least it is for me, what is it you are afraid of, you don't have to say but telling you gp may get you other help.

Don't worry about how many posts and threads you do, when I get severe anxiety I could do one an hour.

Are you on any meds to help?

As awful as it feels, yes, it is anxiety. Are you taking any medication or doing anything else to cope with it?

What you described in your first post sounds like what I was like at my worst and it was truly terrifying so I know exactly how you feel. I honestly didn't think anxiety could make me feel that way. I promise though it does get easier, especially after the more you learn about anxiety and when you face and accept it instead of trying to hide it and run away from it. That is the hard part though and it took me years to master it. I never took meds for any of my MH conditions either, mainly due to OCD contamination fears and plus I had seen my family become dependent on anti depressants. If you are waiting for CBT and its not deemed as urgent then it can be a long wait depending on your area. I only had to wait for 2 months but mine was deemed as urgent because of my OCD but my stepdad got CBT for his panic attacks and anxiety and he had to wait 11 months I think it was.

sometimes a combination of meds and CBT or some other therapy are neded to help bring relief

Tricia, I feel scared, frightened and very alone most days. It is anxiety, but knowing that doesn't help really.

I am a 47 year old Mum of 4, but I feel like a terrified child when I am at my worst. I think the alone feeling is the worst, which is why I post on here.

I hope your GP was able to help you today. Sometimes it takes a professional to calm me down.

More than anything I wanted to tell you people on here care, and understand.
