Hi,
I have been socially anxious and depressed for a couple of years. I was finally able to meet a counsellor but since I started I've been feeling worse. I'm frustrated at the lack of progress.
I have started taking painkillers without perscription as I am too afraid of going in the Doctors.
I dont want to come across as a druggy but I find it difficult to cope on a day-to-day basis.
Will a doctor take me seriously or will he/she just push me off to another cousellor?
Is medication the best way in the short run to get by?
