All doctors surgeries have emergency same day appointments, the issue is the receptionist who thinks their god and gets to handle the appointments schedule for the day - you need to convince her/him you need to be seen today.

Call them back and really make it known you need to be seen today and it really can't wait 1 week.

Hi Glitterangel.

I too am feeling this way at the moment. I lost my daughter to suicide on 26th July and my anxiety is through the roof at the moment! I can't stop shaking, I'm getting palpitations and feeling like there is no air. An extremely unpleasant feeling isn't it? I've had anxiety before but never like this.

I would call your surgery back and explain that you really can't wait to see somebody. Maybe they could give you an emergency appointment or a call from the duty dr. Please, please don't feel that you are alone feeling this way. I know how frightening it can be!! I have a saying that I use to help, I hope it will help you too. I have a problem with my memory but when I remember it, I'll post for you! Take heart, it will get better.

Chilli xxxx

iam sorry for your lost i will be calling them agian hopeing they see me hope u feel better soon do u tack medication for your anxiety xx

Thank you for you kind words, it means alot to me x

I take kalms from the chemist and also take duloxetine for depression and pain relief as I suffer from several medical conditions too. I also take care of my 2 grandsons who have lived with me for the last 5 years. Lots of stress on my plate lol!! I could write a book about my life in the last 10 years! I'll give you a quick run down if you want but you will be shocked!

What I'm trying to say is that all things pass. That's the quote I use when I'm having an attack, which at the moment is a lot!

The key I think is to realise that your body is having a reaction to a flood of adrenalin and it WILL wear off. If you can, try to stay calm and don't fight the feelings. I know that's so hard to do at the time but it will get easier, I promise.

I think for me, it's trying to keep the fear from building (whatever that fear is) as this just makes things so much worse. I found that it helps me if I think that it's just an unpleasant physical reaction that will pass and I concentrate on the knowledge that it's horrible but it's not going to hurt me, nor is anything else bad going to happen. This might not work for you but between this and the kalms (there are others, just ask the chemist or your gp for advice) I'm coping (I think lol). Tiny steps honey. You are STRONG, YOU CAN BEAT THIS! It will take time but you CAN and WILL do it. It's amazing how strong you can be when you need to be and believe me I know.

Love chilli xxx

It's horrible suffering from anxiety I have just started the last few weeks and I off to my doctor tomorrow, as the walk in clinic couldn't help. I got some herbal sleeping tablets and Bach remedy pastille and tongue drops. They have eased the symptoms, but I stil feel un well and need to speak to a doctor. Hope you feel better soon.

Hey chilli! I read your comment and it made me feel better. I'm so sorry for your loss you are a very strong person though! "This too shall pass" is my favorite quote, i keep saying it to myself when i'm at my lowest. Unfortunately kalms doesn't work for me. I' waiting for my appointment too. I'm hoping that AD's will help

[Hidden in reply to chilli50]

I just wanted to say my heart goes out to you..... my son is not talking to me at the min and may not want me in his life again, and this is so hard for me, but I cant begin to imagine what youre going through...... I just wanted to say how brave and strong you are........... you are an inspiration..... love Ker xx

[Hidden in reply to chilli50]

Hi chilli, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter, I lost my step son to the same in 2006, at the time I was suffering with post natal depression and anxiety. I understand how you are feeling it is so unreal, confusing, lots of whys and what did I miss. Take it really slowly and let your feelings out. Please take care of yourself

I've had a quick look at this website and it's looks really good. Have a look glitterangel. It could really help you to understand this illness a bit more. Thanks johnramboscat xx

[johnramboscat in reply to chilli50]

Hi chilli, its amazing website ive recommended it to everyone I know or hear of suffering from anxiety

[wrouthia in reply to johnramboscat]

Not so sure about the "buy this book" at the end... peerdiagnosis.com/lump-behi...

[johnramboscat in reply to wrouthia]

its optional, it has enough information on the website

Have you tried visualisations, it calms anxiety a lot, until you can go talk to your gp xx

Hope your feeling bit more at ease soon

[4nxietiousSam]

have you tried ringing 111?

[Hidden in reply to 4nxietiousSam]

no xx

[4nxietiousSam in reply to Hidden]

it's like if it's not an emergency but you need to see someone that's who you phone xoxo

[Hidden in reply to 4nxietiousSam]

ok thanks xx

[lovalova1991 in reply to 4nxietiousSam]

That's a good idea btw. 111 is non-emergency number plus it works 24/7. Talking to them would probs help x

[formidible]

I booked an emergency appointment some weeks ago with my GP - had to ring early morning to get a time for same day. In the end it was pretty much a waste of time - they refused to prescribe what I knew would help, and gave me something that didn't work.
