Im finally admitting to my self that I think I have depression and anxiety and I need to do something about it. the problem is my anxiety is so high Im scared to pick up the phone and make the GP appointment. I feel so down about my self that I don't believe anyone would want to help me out. I feel like if I were to drop of the face of the earth know one would really miss me.
My question is how did you work your self up to going to see your GP?
How did you bring it up with them?
I need help but just get overwhelmed with the thought of talking to anyone about how Im feeling its affecting my kids my marriage and work. I cant concentrate on any one task for longer then 10 mins, I cant even focus on writing this properly.

Call mental health triage. They can send out a CAT to you and admit you as an outpatient.
And they won't judge.
I think I was just so scared of killing myself there was no alternative but to go to the doctor. Is there a friend or partner that could go to the GP with? I promise your GP isn't going to judge, they are there to help.
I have bipolar it took years of suffering and embarrassing episodes before I had the guts to seek help. Please talk to someone. Have you got a friend who can make the appointment for you and go with you? If not please just bite the bullet and go! I now have excellent councilling, psychs and medication and im now a better parent, worker and partner because of this.mental illness is a real illness and needs to be treated accordingly.good luck I wish I could help you properly
