I feel like I'm going crazy

[ChocolateToffee]

This is more of a rant/vent post than anything I think. I dont have anyone to talk to right now. My GP has referred me to a mental health clinic as she believes I'm suffering from OCD and anxiety. That was 5 weeks ago and the letter I received said it could be a 12 week wait.

Theres constant turmoil inside me, I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm worried they dont have the right phone number because the doctor wrote my number down for me.

I apologized to my DH the other night, apologising for any weird behaviour bexause I was an absolute wreck on the inside but he said I appeared normal.
I have always been like this since I can remember but it's really taking its toll

Don’t forget if you just need someone to talk to you can call The Samaritans day or night. At times when I just needed to unload as I was so overwhelmed, I called and talked to someone for a while and it always really helped. I was never actually suicidal but I did need to talk to someone as the stress was making me feel like I was losing it. Never feel ashamed to just talk and get the anxiety out, at least some of it.

Are you taking any meds OP? I suffer from anxiety and that makes me much more OCD in my daily life when it's really heightened. I've tried various things over the years to varying degrees of success.

Keep venting here if you feel it helps

That's a good idea Movable. I'm not suicide. I have been in the past and I think my mind had gone from one extreme from the other. I perceive everything as a threat. Even going to the shops is like a battlefield.

Yoga I think you've hit the nail on the head. Lately my anxiety has been OTT and so has my OCD. I had to check the front door twice yesterday. No meds yet, doc doesn't think I need them. I have a habit of minimizing everything that's going on for some reason
