Getting help

Hi @rachel1988
I can hear that things have been very difficult for you and the help and support that you need and deserve has not been there for you.
Unfortunately the Mental Health provision within the NHS is very stretched and sometimes the help and support that should be offered isn’t.
There are a couple of pieces of advice I can give you but to be honest it is all about you, how you feel, what you think would work for you and helping you manage your own stress levels.
The first is try and access that professional help and support again. Talk to your GP, ask to speak with a different GP and talk through what is happening for you and needing the diagnosis.
The second is self help. There are a couple of good websites that can talk you through what this would look like. The NHS website gives some good advice. There is also the Anxiety UK website but you have to pay for this support which I’m always a bit wary of to be honest.
