I have been having really bad anxiety and I told my gp about this but they were no help

You still might be able to get help from your gp surgery. When booking an appointment I specifically asked if they had any doctors with a particular interest or specialisation in mental health. My own gp was decent for everything else and clueless about depression and anxiety.

Other thing is that you often have to bring it up a few times. It demonstrates it's not short term and is ongoing.

Not what you asked I know. Good luck

I told my gp but he referred to my community mental health team instead and I am not sure what happened with it

Wishing you the best. Just curious, which type of anxiety do you suffer from? Social anxiety? Generalized anxiety disorder? Is there certain situations or things that trigger your anxiety?
