I went to see my doctor about my messed up mental state a few months ago. He gave me pills for anxiety and directed me to some (useless) group therapy. I wasn't able to get across that I believe anxiety to be just the tip of the iceberg here, although it was particularly bad at the time.
Do my symptoms warrant a second opinion? I'm in the UK and the system seems incapable of treating this.
>crying
(Usually once a day, though I'm able to suppress it often)
>mood swings
Often, my mood goes from ok in the morning to terrible in the evening or vice versa. It never really goes above "ok," though sometimes I get marginally excited.
>anxiety
Obviously. Comes in randomly. Sometimes I can complete assignments with ease. Sometimes I have a complete breakdown.
>feeling of hopelessness and of being trapped
I feel as though I am trapped where I am (I am really). I resent it here. I feel like I will never be able to leave, or only when I'm past my prime.
To be honest, I don't think my problems can be solved via therapy or pills, and that only action will solve them

Oh, forgot to add, I think my cognitive ability is declining too
I think this is just getting older, lad. I feel like this every day of my life and never even thought there might be something wrong with me, medically. I think I just have a very negative outlook on life.

The crying too? It's getting worse and I kind of worry where it's headed.

How old are you would be a pertinent question
