I went to my GP with symptoms of social anxiety/Generalised Anxiety Disorder, she told me that she will refer me to Psychiatry with my local mental health team, and I have self-referred myself to PRAXIS which is a local counselling service, I said this to my mum but she said to me what was I playing at i.e. Why was I doing this, but I have had problems with anxiety/socialising with people all my life, I also have special needs as well, will she eventually accept it? It's the way I am and I cannot change this.

You have made some positive steps in identifying a problem and then seeking help. This is the hardest step for most people to take. I take my hat off to you.
Your mothers reaction is probably a knee jerk one, as mental health is a difficult subject to talk openly about.
Hang in there.
