anxitey disorder but scared to go docs

[melly295]

Hey mums, I need a little advice or support on what to do.. i havent been diagnosed with it yet but i really do think ive got anxitey and social phobia disorder. Ive ignored it for ages but its getting outa control to the point were im on jsa and on a work programme and have to go every friday for a 2hours job search well i havent been for 2 weeks i just cant face getting on the bus and sitting in a room with a group off people i think are staring at me and talking about me. I dont go out but wen i do go out i have to have someone with me even if its to go shop if no ones avaliable to go with me i get myself in to a state. I dont wanna go doctors because im afraid the doctor will just dismiss me and ignore my problems i have been told by family members i needs medication cos its getting out control i find it hard to sleep i only sleep a hour a night.

Can you walk/bike to the job search? The actual physical exercise will help too. No Dr worth their pay will treat you like that.

amarmai is correct, you physical exercise will help.

Try and aim to go for a walk every day, for me I like a quick lap of the park first thing, it's too busy and gives me time to clear my head.

One thing that really helps me while walking is listening, listen for the birds, concentrate on what you can hear and it will take your mind off anxiety.

The doctor wont dismiss you, see them, they will be able to put you on the right track.
