Just been diagnosed with GAD- please help me get well again

[GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat]

I’m so desperate to beat this. I really can’t lose any more of my life to this and I don’t want to pass it on to my children. That may be too late as they aren’t little but I hope I’ve done a good job anyway.

I’ve already overhauled my bedtime routine and my sleep is improving slowly. Next I’d like to look at nutrition, mindfulness?, tips to offload the mental exhaustion of anxiety.

I’ve been given the details of talking therapy service by my gp but haven’t quite plucked up the courage to call them yet. Another huge problem of mine, procrastination!

Any tips or advice most welcome. Thank you.

Hi, sorry you're feeling bad. And sorry you feel that you have had no support here. Please reconsider medication - you sound so poorly and in my experience when medication takes the edge off it's easier to benefit from talking therapies.
