Hello,

Not really sure where to start but was looking for some advice.

I've had a stressful few years. Ttc for 5 years with no luck. Medical issue identified 3 years ago which meant we couldn't get any help with fertility until I had surgery. Surgery took place a few months ago. There were a few complications am now starting to feel better physically. I feel however that my mental health is struggling. My anxiety is off the scale. I can't sleep and when I manage to fall asleep I wake up shaking and with a tightness in my chest. My concentration is lacking and I'm making silly mistakes at work which my boss has noticed. It's a new job (stayed in my old one for longer than I should have as I didn't want to be off in a new job for surgery- the irony is not lost...) I feel pretty helpless right now and I'm not sure where to go. I have a gp appointment on Wednesday to try and get some help but I'm not really sure where to start. Any advice? Thanks (especially if you managed to read to the end!)

What specifically are you anxious about? When you are trying to sleep, what are the thoughts that run through your head?
