Being going tonight a tough time lately only recently turned 18 and I suffer with health anxiety since 2015 when my auntie was murdered I’m now on a waiting list for CBT therapy but it’s 6 week waiting list I’m feeling really fed up now and starting to wonder whether tablets would help but I don’t understand about them just looking for some advice ??

    Hi Abby19x, 

    Sorry to hear that, and I hope you're feeling better this week. 

    What tablets are you thinking about?  Many of them are temporarily useful, but can lead to addiction rapidly (as you need them to cope). 

    As you have 6 weeks before your CBT sessions start, have you thought about meditation or yoga before then?  There might be meditation classes in your area?  I've been to some as a student and found them useful, although not always in the mood. 

    Hope this can be helpful, 

    Best,

    Jonathan
