Ideas on what I should do??

[One_million_pieces]

So in the cinema today I saw the beyond blue Anxiety ad and it really struck home. All of it. I previously knew I had highly probable depression and anxiety, so I came here and took that  k10 test or whatever it's called, and apparently I'm getting between 29 and 30 on that. I have no Monet at all, don't work and live with parents and study. I also don't think I could handle talking to someone face to face. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi One million pieces,

I agree with Daisy that it might be a good idea to go and see your GP. I confirmed my own depression the same way (by online test) and having it confirmed by the doctor was one of the most liberating things that has happened to me! I found out that it wasn't just all me and there was actually a diagnosis for how I felt and it wasn't all my fault! 

I know it might be hard -especially with feelings of anxiety, but do you think you can tell someone and get them to go to the docs with you? You could just tell them about the test and that you want to see if there is anything to it. 

It would be a hurdle but I'm sure it would be worth it and I know that you can do it.

HI One million pieces

I know exactly how you feel.

The ad from BB is very good- it displays how one is feeling with anxiety.

I never did the anxiety or depression distress tests until Ive seen my Doc.

I was terriefied by the result- which put me in the very severe section of both conditions.

same as you I new something was not right with me but I could not overcome the hurdle to talk it through with friends or doctors. I feared my friends will leave me alone and a doc will lock me up.

After my studies got really full on,getting physically sick and losing a good friend I just crumbled. My usual GP was no one I felt like talking to. A friends advise to see her doc proofed great. That doc took 40 min to listen to me and made sure I was getting better.,

now I only see her every 3 month to check if the meds doing their job.

One million pieces- as other forum members adviced, try the online chat, the online message service from BB or/and the phone service. Try services like centacare which are free and not connected to any doctor, if you just want some advise and get your head around your feelings. Writing your thoughts down is great, I did that with the doc, I was so embarrassed to confess my real feelings. writing it down was sort of easier.

Good vibes your way, you can do it, there is help our there.

I hope you find a kind GP to talk to. Once you found one they can really change your life
