I am just looking for some guidance because for the last year I have had recurring anxiety but am yet to find an effective way of dealing with it. I went to my GP about it to begin with and she referred me to a mental health person that occasionally drops in there, I am not entirely sure of her job but she led sessions one-to-one with a patient on their problems. I did, to begin with, see the benefit in the sessions because I was talking through my thoughts but after a couple they became quite subscribed and I felt as though I was leading to an inevitable end of how to overcome this on my own, which is what I obviously want but I still can't do this. A few months ago I finished with the sessions after feeling positive for a while and haven't been back since but I keep having stints of anxiety that I can't control and they seem to be brought on with change in routine.... I just don't know how to deal with it and feel a constant feeling of dread and loneliness and helplessness when it comes over me, like everything is a disaster but I can't think why exactly or describe. Thanks.

Most likely it will have been a community psychiatric nurse,they are often a first step for people visiting a GP with mental health issues. I have found them to be well meaning but entirely ineffectual, many do lean towards medication, if that's not a route you prefer they tend to be out of their depth. This is based on my experience only of course. For me therapy with psychotherapy is much more targeted at helping me get better. It takes time but for me it's worth it,psychotherapy can be requested via your GP
Hi
I have been suffering with anxiety/panic since last October, it's awful I have it 24/7, I sometimes have a week or so when I feel better but this week I feel so low, I see a phsycotherapist in a group therapy every Friday morning, it's based around a subject called mindfulness but it's not helping me yet, I feel sick, shaky, palpitations, suicidal thoughts, it's just making me feel so low, I'm on anti depressants but they don't do nothing, I just feel like I want to cry all the time, I want it all to go away x
