Last year I went to my GP suffering with anxiety and depression. I had been suffering with this for a long time and had received medication and CBT in the past.
For this most recent episode, my GP referred me to the IAPT service to go on a stress management course (I think it was 6 steps) in Sheffield City centre. I can't speak highly enough of the course and the facilitators. I connected with all of the content and it got me thinking differently about how I could cope with my thoughts and feelings.
Perhaps the most empowering thing about the course was that it was so well attended by a variety of people. This in itself made me realise that I wasn't the only person struggling and that it is much more common than I ever thought. I feel that the course was just what I needed at that time and I would recommend the course to anyone.
