anxiety and panic attacks

No hospitalisation

Told people someone else was living in my head, and sometimes took over my body and that was what happened all the times where something I happened I couldn't remember.
Accused people of things they didn't do.
Threatened suicide.
Slept for more hours than I was awake.
Wasted months doing practically nothing.
Fell asleep uncontrollably during lessons, or other times I was sitting down.
Suddenly left classrooms or other situations
Randomly got really upset and told the deputy head teacher to f*** off
Curled up in a ball on the floor and tried not to respond to anything.

What doctors have I had for my mental health?
One, unless you include my GP. Although I have also seen two counsellors, an occupational therapist and two educational psychologists.

The doctor was a consultant psychiatrist.

He was at a psychiatric outpatient clinic near where I live.

He did not diagnose me with anything. He said I do not suffer from AS, and that my parents had convinced me I had it (completely untrue! I have had to convince my parents!) He also told me that my list of anxiety symptoms which included falling asleep several times a day, palpitations every day, trembling and bad co-ordination did not mean my anxiety was an illness, just 'severe discomfort'. I think he was stupid, and mean.

I was offered antidepressants but I said no as they often have side effects and I would rather be prescribed an anxiolytic as I was/am suffering from anxiety, not depression.
