What are you trying to get referred for again? I got referred for therapy by my GP, but it sounds like you already have a therapist so I am just a bit confused. Do you need to be referred to someone to get medicine?

I hope that your therapist can be helpful to you and that your appointment with them goes well. :heart:

I also agree that taking a shower can be helpful. I don't know if you don't like them in general, but feeling clean and physically refreshed afterwards usually helps me deal with things better. It's like washing the stress away a bit.


Yeah in the uk councillors/therapists can't prescribe stuff, they have to refer you to someone else. I'm not sure if I will have to go to the gp or if because she is private she can refer me to someone else. Just hoping it all works out. Hoping the fact my other family members who take meds/have mental health problems were shocked I'd never been offered any will mean maybe my anxiety is wrong for downplaying this/worrying I'm just being silly.

You are NOT being silly.
The fact that your family have mental health issues is relevant, maybe they are not helping you, maybe they see you as the most sensitive, AS people often are.

Very sorry to hear Iv. Hope you can talk to your therapist very soon as it sounds like you’re dealing with too much there and it’s not getting any better or easier for you. It doesn’t sound as though there’s been a lessening of these issues since you previously posted. Hope you’re offered some good support, advice and treatment. X

Sorry to hear you're going through this. Don't know if I can offer any advice, only prayers for things to get better, and maybe a soothing video:

Thank you for all the kind replies. I wasn't able to get everything last session but I had an email sent about a referral so I find out my next steps today. Hopefully I can get some clarity on what is going on with me and some good help.
