[QUOTE="BeccyB, post: 1996797, member: 196557"] I understand, I suffer with anxiety too and think there's quite a few forum members who do too. It's mostly under control for me now but I have had several 'hermit' episodes. My worst was about 2 years ago and in the end hypnotherapy worked for me - I was SO skeptical but a friend suggested it and I was pretty desperate so tried it. 3 sessions and I was back at work and socialising properly again! I've also found Mindfulness helps, try the Headspace app - the basics are free so definitely worth trying Also, put in your letter to your GP that you are struggling with your anxiety/leaving the house and ask if there are any online resources you can access, I know my local area has a site you can get access to if you're registered with a local GP. There may also be telephone counselling available, maybe with a waiting list but I think a lot of places are using it these days. In terms of your diabetes - if you get an appointment with a hospital team and don't think you will be able to manage it give them a ring and explain. Hopefully they will be willing to arrange a phone appointment too. They may even have a mental health team attached to them as there is a lot more awareness of the interaction with diabetes these days Sorry if I'm overloading you with stuff, or it seems like I'm nagging you, I just want to get anything that may be useful onto this thread for you and anyone else that may read it. I'm glad you are popping back here occasionally, as [USER=388932]@Grant_Vicat[/USER] said if you get anything out of these posts then it's great. [/QUOTE]
