I Felt anxious, on edge, irritated, worrying all the time and couldn't sleep.
I didnt trust anyone and didnt feel in control of my life. I was also extremely negative in everything.
My GP recommended I get in touch with inclusion so I referred myself. After a long conversation with a very nice and non judgemental lady about what was going on with me on an hour telephone call, after a few months I was offered ÇBT sessions and was paired with a therapist. An amazing therapist called Nicola.
I had 7 CBT sessions on the telephone with nicola.
After soon identifying my symptoms with generalised anxiety disorder she began each week giving me tools and techniques to use and would always come up with different things and ways for me to get a better understanding of the unhelpful thoughts I was having and how to deal with these in a better way. She never made me feel stupid or silly and never judged me. She completely understood what was going on in my head.
I now feel more confident and feel in control of my life for the first time in a very long while. My friends and family have noticed a change in me, a more positive one.
I'm not saying that's it, everything's all better. What I can say is that I now have the tools and techniques for the future if I need to use them.
My only regret is not referring myself sooner.
I cannot thank inclusion and Nicola enough.
This really has been life changing for me and I am extremely thankful for that
I feel confident for the future.
