Hey everyone, I finally decided to face the truth, and accept that maybe I suffer with chronic anxiety.

As many of you might relate, I of course feel guilty af and a (luckily quiet) voice is telling me that I'm weak and making this up.

I was wondering for those who suffer, but not enough to get the attention of the psychiatrists etc, do you have any tips re- getting a diagnosis? For those who want extra info (otherwise skip to next paragraph): As soon as my weekly anxiety &amp; depression tests improved due to a temporary life-high, TalkingSpacePlus discharged and told me to go private - I have no medical proof as far as I'm aware, that justifies my anxiety-induced behaviour. This behaviour is usually avoidance - which some would call procrastination. Episodes last in the dozens of hours. So today I called in sick bcos I was 'procrastinating' in the night and only got 5 hrs of sleep.

I feel terrible calling in sick without a diagnosis, I feel that I'm a failure etc. Anxiety in my head means weakness. Any tips on how to address the stigma I feel? How do I navigate this with my boss etc?

Any tips or experiences, no matter if it's in a few words or many, are really appreciated.
