I wondered if anyone could give me any advice on going to a doctor for anxiety. I went once before a few years ago and i got sent straight to counselling, but it didnt help and i think medication is a better option for me. I'm 16 from the UK and although i can go to a doctor alone, i do not have access to my medical numbers because my parents keep those.
My parents also know about my anxiety but we're not particularly close so i find it difficult to talk about these things with them.
I also cannot talk on the phone because of anxiety so i cannot make an appointment that way.
Any help would be much appreciated because, after about 4 years, it's got to a point where it's taking over my life.
Hi Hun, is the doctors far from where you live? If it's not would you feel comfortable going in to make an appointment? Also is there a family member you are close to that you could talk to? X
Thanks for the reply. It's fairly close but i wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to make an appointment. And sadly, no x
Ok Huni, it sounds like speaking to your doctor would help. I know you said your not close to your parents but could you talk to them about it x
