yeah, they're fairly straightforward about it. but what do you want? waiting lists for therapy are over a year, and under the IAPT thing you're getting CBT (not for me but it might be for you).

medicine-wise they don't like to give out benzos any more. 100% understandable. but i feel like they're a bit too quick to give you antidepressants because they've also been shown to help with anxiety. doesn't matter if it's situational/social anxiety, here's some fluoxetine.
