I have no experience with the health systems of other countries but while there tends to be a strong demand and wait for talking therapy in my country, seeing a GP and getting assistance with symptoms (and anxiety attacks are physical symptoms involving chemical releases which prompt physical responses) shouldn’t take long. There may be voluntary mentoring/befriending services in your area too. These will not be able to give you clinical assistance but they would give you a human being who has no history with you, who is willing to sit and listen while you externalise your situation. There is nothing worse than being caught in a feedback loop of obsessional observance of behaviour and your emotional response to it. There may be specialist volunteer organisations that work specifically with the sort of symptoms you are manifesting. You may be facing a duel stigma of mental health problems and worrying about accessing ‘charity’. My response to the later if you feel that would be to commit yourself to assisting the organisations that help you once you get back on your feet. Anxiety is a recognised medical situation so you should be able to apply for financial assistance while you get to grips with that aspect of what is happening to you from insurance companies. If you don’t feel up to looking up these things online we could do that for you if we have an idea of the general geographical area you live in.
