Hi i am suffering with extremely bad anxiety at the mo. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and have a suspected fistuls. Supposed to be having mri in Aug. It is highly likely i will need surgery for this snd i have a uncontrollable severe phobia on general anaesthetic. It lookd like i will need quite a few surgeries to get sorted. My anxiety is really affecting my everyday life. Somedays i feel like crying and get a feel if dread of panic. GP has prescribed me with mirtazapine which helps with sleep but not for the anxiety. It is horrible, i am really struggling ti cope. I think i am after that miracle drug that will cure my anxiety, but know that is not going to happen. Any advice would be appreciated.
