    Hi Anita – I am seeing a psychologist who can not prescribe medication however she hinted on referring me to a GP that could. I did tell her I wasn’t comfortable with that and I wanted to work through it with psychotherapy and she said we could try. Maybe I am just feeling low because that is normal after early stages of therapy?

    Jennifer – thank you so much for your suggestions, I have been really trying to watch my diet however I think I might look in to buying some vitamins!

    So I had my first psychotherapy appointment yesterday and it was all going really well and I was feeling a good connection with my therapist then at the end of the session she said she wants to do a little depression test on me at my next session next week as she suspects I may have depression. I immediately freaked out at the mention of this as she said this could be treated with anti depressants and I don’t want to take anti depressants. I hardly slept last night as I was just laying awake thinking about possibly being depressed. Does anybody have any methods to help me accept this if it turns out I am suffering a bit of depression. I still go to work every day and engage in normal social activities, I am exercising and trying my hardest so I can’t see how I could be depressed still

    Anita thank you so much for your reply, I was temporarily on anti depressants for under a year however came off them because I didn’t believe they were really doing anything. I am looking very forward to starting my psychotherapy in less than a weeks time.

    Natalie I really appreciate the time you took to put together such a detailed reply, I will be sure to give the Allow and Release exercise a go, the thing is at the moment I wake up and the anxiety is immediately there and I don’t know what it is there for. I think it has come to the point I am anxious about being anxious and the mornings are always the worst.

    I will let you both know how I go with trying out these new techniques and my psychotherapy session.

    HI Anita,

    Thank you for your reply.
    My relationship with me parents, siblings and boyfriend are all amazing. They have all been there for me and continue to be there for me whenever I need them.
    I am just starting to realise I can’t rely on other people to take my anxiety away and I have to work on myself in order to get better. I think I am also worried that I am always going to feel like this and never experience true happiness again. I also don’t want to have to take anti depressants and would love to work through this with psychotherapy and exercise.
