Thank you both. I've been very restless all morning, running through the house trying to collect everything I need. It doesn't help that the worries about the assessment are putting a bit of panic into me as the time draws near. I'm an extremely shy, quiet person. It's hard for me to communicate how I'm feeling, in fact it took me over 3 years to tell my child and youth worker that I felt I was depressed at all. I'm always afraid that what I say will be taken the wrong way or I wont be taken seriously because I'm young. It's happened a lot with my family, and even a guidance counselor at school, so I suppose it's just a reflex fear.. The appointment is in one hour, here's hoping everything goes well!!!
