I suffer with really bad health anxiety which has escalated over the last week or so to the point I can barely get out of bed 
. I've had to phone in sick to work today & can't see myself being able to go in tomorrow either. My boss doesn't know about my MH problems so I just say I'm feeling sick (which is partially true as I feel as sick as a dog with anxiety at the moment).
I'm on Citalopram 30mg but that just doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore. Also taking beta blockers but, again, they don't seem to be helping much. Not sure what else I can do - it's crippling me. I've tried online CBT in the past but that didn't really help and really reluctant to try benzos as I don't want to become dependent on them.
Getting an appointment to see my Dr is extremely difficult (emergency triage appointments only on same day - booked up 4 weeks in advance for other appointments). It's really a huge viscious circle, I want the symptoms that are causing the anxiety investigated but the Dr insists my symptoms are all anxiety related so won't investigate. Don't know what else to do. Even thinking of going privately to get them investigated even though we most definitely can't afford to do this & it will put us in debt.
Feeling unable to cope at the moment and like I'm letting everyone down (work, Dh, Dc etc). Just feel like shit
