How come they don't have a tv show about anxiety and depression

[girlwithhope]

i just need to vent again.They have shows about Horders and Obsessed and Intervention.They are missing 1 show how about people that have SEVERE anxiety everyday and how to control without meds .I want those therapist to come to my house and help me how to cope with my anxiety.Sorry this is just for me not sure how some of u guys feel.Thanks

wow so a counsellor's good too then! well what ill do is go to the docs first see if they refer me anywhere and take it from there! i really hope this all gets sorted for me soon :(

The person I saw was a counselor.  She was great!  Gave me tips on ways to calm myself and things to do to get over the anxiety.

[Aff123]

what was the therapist like a phycologist or counsellor? or is therapist its own seperate thing!!

[ljp128]

I spoke with a therapist and it helped a lot.

[Aff123]

Btw guys who would i actually need to see? i though pychiatrist would be the best person as they studied medicine and would probably know exactly whats wrong and the right ways to solve it..i know their more based on medicine but their also the most skilled in things like anxiety etc right? if i saw a phycologist thats just all based on talking..???

i am considering a therapist but i dont know if the GP would refer me! i feel to find one for myself but seriously i dont think i could actually afford it cos i know ill defo need more than 1 session! ill give it a try with the gp first..had enough of going back there everytime though..just been for a walk as i had to pick up my dads prescription and go chemist its the first time ive come out the house in a while didnt feel too good but i managed! it felt good to be back home though..it all seems so ridiculus!

It is for people with OCD but it shows cognative behavior therapy and exposure therapy and I think BOTH are very helpful with anxiety.  Once you see that your feelings of anxiety are not going to hurt you, you are better able to face them and get thru the attack.  It was helpful for me at least!

oh i never missed that show i watched it every Thursday never missed it.But this show is mainly for OCD and yes anxiety but mostly with people that has ocd it's just like that show Obsessed that comes on monday's on A&E i watch that show EVERY monday also.lol...But i just want a show mainly on Anxiety and depression.I wish the therapist can come here to my house to help me cope with my anxiety.I WISH I WISH I WISH.lol

[ljp128]

Not sure where all of you guys live but here in the US, I live in Arizona, on VH1 there is a show called The OCD Project and a nboard certified doc works with people who suffer from different OCD problems and anxiety that comes from this.  Its a GREAT great show and watching it is like free therapy for me!  You can view the doc page, just google his name - DR DAVID TOLIN.  He does some very good work!!  You can watch episodes of the show online as well at VH1.com

Wow sry to hear that your sister in law is that way.That is mean of her to do that.Man if they can just feel the body symptoms that we go through for 1 day see how it feels i bet they would be REALLY extra careful what they say next time.They think it's so easy to relax when the severe anxiety comes.Like i said i wish they have a show about ANXIETY and please send me those therapist to my house i'll go on tv too if i have to i'll do anything for them to help me get rid of this anxiety or at least some of it.Take care guys

[Aff123]

yeah exactly! no one does ever understand..seriously like when im with family and one member of the family asks how i am now becos of all the health stuff i been fru months ago every1 just turns around answers for me and says 'ah shes fine theres nothing wrong with her shes absolutely fine' and its like well hold on a minute how the hell do u know what i feel and what im going through every day!!! and friends are just like its in your head u can control it etc etc. and hearing them talk like that does nothing but make me worse :|

[cheshchesh819]

yes when i was going through bad stages i would of loved to have proper help,its the unknow aint anxiety,until it happens to you,you would never believe what it is like,most people moan when they have a cold or flu,imagine if they had to live with this day in day out,to girlwithhope my sister in law is the cruelist one i have to deal with if i say i feels a bit dizzy today she just mocks in front of people and says,well go on line to check it out and then laughs,she tries to belittle me,but i always comes back with an answer to shut her up and then she is the one with mud in her face.

[girlwithhope]

Yup me too I hate having this CRAZY body symptoms EVERYDAY if it's not 1 symptom it's the other.I use to go everywhere spend hours at the mall or go far places now I HATE driving especially on freeways.I don't feel normal maybe for an hour at the most and here's the crazy symptoms.So I know how u feel and what ur going thru as I'm going thru it also.But justknow that ur not alone I know sometimes u feel like u are cuz a lot of friends n families don't understad sometimes.Best of luck 2 u.Take care

[Aff123]
