"My Mental Health"

I was discussing my depression and anxiety about the fear of dying with my GP practice nurse, and became rather upset and tearful. She suggested Talking Therapies and said she would put refer me to them. Later the same day I had a call from them to say someone would contact me the following week to discuss my worries and see if Talking Therapies would be suitable. I then filled in a questionnaire for their records.

The lady rang me last week and we had a good chat about everything. It was decided that it would take approximately 10weeks for a place on a course to be available, but I would receive a call from the Mental health team at my GP to see how things were going.

I am so pleased that I discussed this matter with my nurse as this problem has been ongoing since childhood and is always at the back of my mind. I am also very impressed with how quickly things have got moving over such a short time.
