Hi, I was diagnosed with a GAD years ago but nothing much really came from the diagnosis, however a recent visit with my GP for a unrelated  issue to do with a chronic illness I have. I was so anxious during the appointment, I ended up refusing recommended hospital admission - I am
the worst for avoiding anything and everything that makes me anxious. But this time by avoiding hospital, I put my life at risk. New low for me. 

So GP rang me a few days later, wanted to talk about my anxiety (guess I didn’t conceal it as well as I’d thought) i agreed to start propanol, which I haven’t started taking yet and also was referred for CBT, which starts next week. 

Anyone have any experience? I have no idea what to expect.  

Thanks
