This is my 1st post and im not sure where to start.
Ive have had anxiety most my life and depression on and off for the past 12 year. Ive recently left a very abusive relationship (physically and emotionally) and my mental health is suffering terribly. Im suffering panic attacks serveral times a week and cant sleep. Ive been to my doctor several times in the last few month and been given mirtazapine to help. This has a helped a little but not much. In the past two weeks ive had strong urges to self harm (havent done this in 8 year) so far im resisting the urges but dont know how much longer il be able to. My worry is if i go back to my doctor and explain this or if i do end up self harming will social services become involved? My children are very well looked after and alothough can see mummy is sad sometimes my mental health does not affect them in anyway. Im just at a loss as to what to do. I feel so emotionally drained and have no onw to turn to.
