Re: Struggling
So they called me back, receptionist was very nice and said you'll need an appointment as soon as, so I'm going tomorrow at 4.45. Not my usual doctor but they are so busy I'm glad to see someone.
I actually cried afterwards but I do feel better.
I might write down how i feel for them.

Re: Struggling
You've overcome a huge hurdle by getting that appointment. Well done.
Yes, it's best to write down your thoughts during the day. Sometimes we forget (or gloss over) the important or relevant stuff when sitting in front of someone.
Best wishes for tomorrow.

Re: Struggling
Well done Shining on taking the big step, you know we are all behind you and wishing you all the best wishes you can imagine
Definitely write everything down and even just hand it to the doctor to read if you’d find that easier (I think I would)

Re: Struggling
I am delighted for you. That was a big, brave step. Good for you. Do write a few bits down to make sure you cover the main points. Well done, Shining.
Re: Struggling
Well done! That was very hard to do.
And sometimes I think it is good to see a different doctor who doesn’t know you that well. Write down what you think you want to say and how you feel as it is easier for them then than trying to get info from you when you are overwhelmed.

Re: Struggling
Thank you all... went to the gym this evening and burst into tears...I couldn't do something I could do before Christmas and absolutely collapsed over it in floods of tears.
Re: Struggling
Shining you poor thing ... delighted you got an appointment tomorrow. And write it down for the doctor... they will be there to.listen not judge
Re: Struggling
Good luck with the doctor today. Write out everything and remember if you cry, it's not a bad thing. They will have dealt with lots of situations like yours. Re the gym, anxiety is mentally draining and that can make you physically exhausted too. Just remember, things will get better. It might be slow but it will get better.
Re: Struggling
Well done shining. The first step can be so so hard and fair play to you for taking it.
I second writing out bullet points for the doctor in case you find to your words leave you. Best of luck, you can do this.
