I mean really bad anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia. Not just a bit of nerves. I think im getting worse, even tho im taking meds, sometimes i feel like im going mad. I dont want to go back to my GP cos he might think im bonkers. I also have a phobia of doctors and had a panic attack last time i was there which just makes it harder.


Answer
You could always commit yourself voluntarily. It's unlikely you would be sectioned because it's generally people who are a danger to themselves or someone else, and people that don't realise their mentally ill. If the doctor suggested you be admitted to hospital and you agreed then they wouldn't section you.
