I've been feeling low for some time. This weekend I spent mostly in bed, had a bad panic attack, scary intrusive thoughts of harming myself etc. The escalation felt like it came out of nowhere which was scary. I'm used to feeling low, but not "this" bad. I'm feeling a bit better now, the episode passed.
Anyway, I know I probably need to speak to the GP - given how busy there are, would it be selfish to ask for a same day appointment, or would that be overkill? Gauging what others would do on this situation.
