Hello everyone

Just found out about SANE and the forums and I find it amazing.

I thought I'd post a little about myself to introduce myself, hopefully get some help/recommendations and to know that I'm not alone.

I am 31 years of age, have been suffering from panic disorder, agoraphobia, OCD, seperation anxiety & anxiety since 2001.

Between 2005 and 2009 I was pretty much 90% better. Then out of the blue relapsed and just keep getting worse since and for the past 2 weeks have pretty much hit rock bottom.

I am on medication, my last councilor has retired end of last year.

I have a very loving supporting family and a loving supporting partner.

I don't know what to do, seems as though the harder I try the harder it gets, my general anxiety has gone through the roof.

I would also like to ask if anyone can recommend a Psychiatrist that does home visits or online, I have been on the same medication for the past 10 years and it obviously isn't doing anything - in saying so I know that medication isn't the answer and is not a cure although I find that it would possibly give a boost and or make the start of rehabilitation a little easier I suppose for lack of better words.

I will stop for now, feel free to ask any questions, thank you for reading and any support in advance.

Hi @Dee89 and welcome. The forum has been such a help to me, and I hope it will be for you too.

I also have anxiety and it can be crippling.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy has helped me, including Russ Harris's work e.g

The Happiness Trap

I also love

I'm happy to hear you have a supportive partner and family. That's gold!
