yeah u can but if u get it from gp its subsidised it right for like 4 or 6 lessons right?

That's correct. It's 6 free sessions with the Psychologist if you go to the GP first and you should anyway. It's useful to have a checkup to see if there are any physical problems that may be giving rise to these problems.

That said, everyone uses the DSM (at least in Australia) - it's the general reference to all the mental health disorders that we know about, at least in the Western sphere of things.

Okay, I just realised I only went one weekend without drinking, but I've fathomed that since I was never drinking to combat anxiety, it probably won't help too much. Thanks for the general advice, I really don't want to see a doctor but I might have to do that

Hey doctors aren't there to judge you
they are there to help you, they won't have any problem helping you but be insistent if they are crappy

I know it's hard, but you do have to keep talking until someone listens to you or else you'll continue being miserable.
