Anxiety getting so much worse. Don’t know what to do tried getting help

[SarahN123]

Hi I’m Sarah. I’ve been keeping in reaching out to other people other than my parents. I was wondering how people get taken seriously for their anxiety condition...because I’ve tried getting help for four years now. My doctor just puts me on meds’ that don’t seem to be working. Ive been to talking therapy but it’s not helping. I feel like it’s got so much worse because of rejection and ghosting and bad work environment. My therapist just says to avoid people that treat me bad. But it doesn’t help because as soon as I feel like I’m being rejected I get so angry. anxious and depressed. I used to find it so easy to date men but now they just seem to ghost and play games. This has fluctuated my anxiety to a whole new level. I just feel so alone. I was severely rejected and bullied by my form at school and I think this is why rejection is the biggest trigger.

Hello Sarah123

Many thanks for your post. It does sound as if you are in a difficult place at the moment.

It sounds as if so many things feel negative for you. Well just posting to our community is a very positive thing to do. This is a supportive community, so our members may have more support and information to offer you.

Keep talking to your parents even if it does feel so hopeless at the moment. Your work may have an occupational health dept. You could consider talking things through with someone there. It may be worth trying to talk to another GP in your practice.

You may find it helpful to look at the topics and pinned posts to the bottom of this message. There is information about mental health issues and self help.

You might find it helpful to look at MIND at mind.org.

Do take care and keep talking to us.

Best wishes

Hi many thanks for your reply. Yeah this really helps. I have gone back to my GP and they have referred me to extra help other than counselling. I also spoke to my therapist and this helped. Yeah it would be good to hear from people who also suffer with anxiety triggered by rejection and relationships in general.
