Hello need2be_me,
This must be terribly hard to deal with...along the lines that Phoenix is thinking was there any abuse in your past that you needed to get away from or a person you needed to get away from?
If there was, did you ever get away from them or are they still in your life?
Abuse and its impact doesn't go away even if the person goes away, and it acts on the psyche long after the abuser is gone; it can also have a huge impact if the abuser returns even for a short time into your life.
I really hope you can hang on for that appointment but we are all here in the meantime need2be_me and we will support you as best we possibly can,
((((((((Hugs))))))))
