i know just what you are going through! back in april i could no longer go to work, leave the house, i was having regular panic attacks, only valium seems to help. i couldn't open the curtains through fear of anyone seeing me, answer the phone, etc,etc. i haven't been back to work since and have been thinking of handing in my notice. things got much worse two months ago when i found out i was pregnant and i'm having to come off all my medication. i'm seeing a consultant psychiatrist for 15 min/once a month. i tried to go private but they refused saying i was long term and they were only seeing short term.
i just don't know what to do!
