    Hello!! C:

    Hi, I'm Jen! Im new!! C:
    Ive never used any online anxiety supports of any kind before and I've been having a lot of trouble trying to get professional help. I had a really huge panic attack that caused me to have to open up about anxiety (in a public area too ugh ;o; ) a little while back and I had to tell my mom about it because I had to be picked up from school because I was supposed to pick something up but I couldn't do it and it scared me and I was crying and it was a mess. Its kinda hard to write that experience in a few sentences because I remember it clearly but a lot was going on.

    Anyways, I never been to a therapist or psychiatrist for a "official" diagnosis, but my regular doctor is pretty sure I have a pretty bad case of general/social anxiety along with depression. I didn't really need them to tell me because I figured that out a long time ago. I am unable to get to a doctor to be assessed and maybe put on medication because my parents are in the middle of moving to a new house, so theres no time for me to go see a doctor about anything. Along with that, my mom is the kind of person who forgets to do something almost right away and I'm actually very scared to bring it up because I'm really afraid of actually having to go to a session or something.

    Long story short, in the mean time of me preparing myself and actually finding a doctor who can help and hopefully have a medication I'm able to take, I'm going to try to handle myself as much as I can, along with (hopefully!) support of others who know how I feel!

    Sorry for rambling..

    Hello and welcome : )
    Hope that you're able to work something out with a GP soon. It'd be worth bringing up again, when things aren't as hectic, and I don't believe a GP or primary care physician will require you go to therapy before they prescribe medication. In the meantime, hope that the site helps some.

    Welcome to the forum, Jen.
    I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time right now. Here's hoping you'll find some peace once you're settled into that new house. You'll have to let us know how that goes. I think you'll like Anxiety Space, though. We can all relate on one level or another here.
