severe anxiety disorder

[amyjones]

hi,
im new to this, im suffering witha severe anxiety disorder, am still waiting for my appoint for CBT and to see the pychiatrist, having them in about a month. im taking betablockers and olanzapine, which really don't seem to help anymore. im in a mess and feel ive got no where left to turn. im still at work which is slowly becoming a nightmare and im now scared of losing my job cos i just feel i simply cant do it anymore. has anybody else been throuhg this - did you come out the other end? i feel like ive tried everything and jsut dont know what to do anymore, does anybody have any advice?
thanks

it might seem hopeless now but there is another side. people DO overcome anxiety. I have days when I think there's nothing anyone can do to help and I feel like I'll be a prisoner forever but it does get better.
