I am honestly not 100% sure as I have always gone there with an illicit drug problem - but you truly could say you've been medicating with codeine, benzos and so on to deal with your real issue - places like Turning Point etc know that drug use is often a symptom of psychological issues, so in that sense, I really do think they would be willing to help.
Somewhere like reconnexions though, I feel perhaps be your best bet - as they focus primarily on anxiety and related symptoms - whether it has anything to do with drugs or not. When you said this:
It reminded me so much of my first appointment at reconnexion. Just that they listened to me, and acknowledged that I was going through something so shit. Psychological/neurological symptoms can be hellish but they are impossible for someone who hasn't experienced them to relate to. Just being properly understood when I went there, was such an incredible relief.

doctordog said:My regular GP, who basically accused me of being a hypochondriac because I could hold it together for our 10 min appointment. Because I have an anxiety disorder, he will never do bloodwork or refer me to specialists anyway.
