Cant even see a doctor...

[mtmind]

I really need some advise on what to do, I feel like I'm at wits end in my head. I have been dealing with anxiety and manic depression for years. When I get the courage up I make an appointment with my doctor to get some medication and it will work for me for awhile and year or so latter I stop taking them thinking I can handle this now. Every time the anxiety comes back its worse. I tried to go see a therapist, the problem was I would have a attack so bad I would cancel the appt last minute like while in the waiting room because I couldnt seem to talk. Now I'm really scared because I cant even make it to see a doctor or therapist. Any advise or help Please.

Hi.
I understand what your going through completely. I have similar problems and I have always been resistant to go see a therapist. People keep pushing me to do it, and its just not been easy for me. For the longest time I was too scared until one of my closest frienRAB who I trust with everything, walked me down to make the appointment. Sat with me while I waited before it started and was waiting till I came out. He did this for three weeks before I felt comfortable to go on my own. I know what it feels like to want to be self sufficient about everything, because that’s the same thing I do. But something I’ve learned is that sometimes getting help and sticking with the help is the best thing to do. It is what I’m learning to do. Good luck with your situation, I hope you get over your fear. I know how difficult it is, and I admire your courage and your strength for being able to seek out and get help. It takes an incredible person to be able to do that.
