Hey stephrose. Reaching out here was a good first step.

Have you ever considered going to your GP for how you have been feeling, they are a good port of call for everything health related including mental health. They can connect you in with a psychologist, assist with medication of needed, amongst other things.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry you've been feeling this way and feel the need to harm yourself, I can relate I had anxiety and an ED from a young age and have been hamming myself 16 years. Please reach out, I know things get hard, but you got this.

Hi stephrose,

Centaured has made some great suggestions.

Seeing your gp would be a great step you can explain to your gp how your currently feeling and how it’s affecting your life.

I have a lived experience of severe anxiety OCD it put me on a marathon of a journey but I’ve now recovered thanks to the professional help I received ….. hang in there… there’s always hope 😊
