Hang in there, AS... I don't understand how the referral stuff works in Australia. I hope your group can help you figure out some balance while you are waiting to get into other treatment options. One other thing that I did when I was going through the major anxiety issues was to carry a pocket handkerchief that had been daubed with lavender oil. Lavender, as aromatherapy, is calming, and while it's no miracle cure, it did seem to help take the edge off.
