I'm a Newbie

[Blue2]

Hi, I'm new to all this. I feel totally unqualified to offer anybody else advice or pointers. All I can do is say I am more than happy to be involved and contribute as usefully as possible as we go along. 

I recently slipped into a round of insomnia, causing my previously mild anxiety to escalate into a claustrophobic blanket that self perpetuated itself to the point I couldn't see a way out. Fortunately, I have a listening caring GP who gave me shirt term sedation but only if I agreed to take Therapy to find my way out of the dark tunnel I was in. 

Is anyone else feeling as I did? 

If so, please unburden yourself here and share your thoughts. It will help. We are all here for each other. Thanks for listening folks. Belle

Hi Belle,

Welcome to the forum.

You're very humble. Everyone has their own valuable experience so you're more than welcome to share yours. And I totally agree with you that we are all here for each other.

Looks like you are still struggling whether to take therapy advised by your GP or not? If this is the case, do you want to share your concerns? If you have any doubt, you can try to see another doctor for a second opinion, or simply ring Beyondblue hotline to have a chat with a professional. And finally you are the one to make the decision.

Hope everything will be better.

Mark
