Where can I go for help

I'm struggling. No reason I can pin down, I'm just struggling. Love my family, don't hate my job, ok financially.
But I have panic attacks. I feel so low lots of the time. I have suicidal thoughts, although I would never actually do it.
Been on ads in the past, but that always feels temporary. I don't want to go to my doctor. I don't know why.
Is there anywhere else I can go for help or do I just need to wait to see if I get over it?

Go to your GP and ask for a referral to the IAPT service. They can offer some psychological help. Sounds like that’s what you need.

You can self refer for counselling - i think mnet have a mental health guide that have numbers of organisations that can help.

I am on ads for anxiety AGAIN and am coming to terms with the fact that for me they are far from temporary so you can use meds for as long as you need them

Google IAPT in your area. In most places you can self refer. If you are suicidal they will signpost you on to other services and will have knowledge of what's in your area.

Don't rule out seeing your GP though, a good one won't just throw ADs at you if that's not what you want.
