Hey there,

I was soooo nervous when I saw my psych for the 1st ever time. I took a friend with me who sat in the waiting room with me. Didn't help he took me 30 mins AFTER my scheduled appointment lol. Guess it was a tester. I was pacing, wanted to run away from it, kept clock watching.... you name it I did it. My mate was great and was rubbing my arm.... I hate physical contact lol.

If it would ease you, you could write down how you have been feeling for a months period or something like that.

I went in and all he did was look at my GP's email to him and asked a few questions about how I was feeling, how I feel now/today, have I ever felt suicidal, ever self harmed etc etc!!! Then that was it.

I had 3 more sessions with him and then he made his diagnosis of bipolar. Eevrytime I went he read my GP report.... GP would write a report for me going as I was in weekly contact with her.

Hope that helps in any way possible
