Hi can anyone advise me how I can get help. I was homeless but now have a place & a new doctor. Unfortunately my anxiety has prevented me from making an appointment at my new doctors surgery. I've gone weeks without my meds & I'm climbing the walls. Thank you in advance.

Make a telephone appointment if you don't want to go in. Social anxiety is a problem they will be used to.

And i.feel. Sure they will understand..your plight...and give you compassion and help...please do.ring the surgery....and explain your problem...i.feel sure they will help.....you will not be alone....with this fear.....and they will.help.you. To feel better...perhaps give you a time to.go.when the surgery will.be quiet...do please contact them....i.feel.sure they will.understand...once you get your medication.again...you will.feel better...and more confident....and settle down and be happy inyour new home....i wishyou all tbe best.....hope you find happiness and contentment...see your Dr.....every thing else will come togother.... Best regards....Shirley .

if you were given your new home through social services and are happy to talk to them, ask if they can assist you with doctors. confidentially might come into play but I am sure there are circumstances where someone will listen.
Good luck with your new home,
