Thanks so much Roadrunner and Innerzone. The appointment with my doctor was good. He let the ten minutes stretch into fifteen, and handed me the tissues. He gave me a letter to help, and upped my Sertraline to 150mg, which I think will help too.
CPN on friday morning, and I'll write down what we need to be concentrating on before he gets here. I'll agree it with my mother over a nice quiet, calm cup of tea.
I'm so grateful for psychcentral, and for all of you guys who are so supportive even though everyone is going through things of their own. I'm so glad I have this place to post in. It's really helped just to say it out loud, as it were. I wasn't entirely convinced that it would. But saying it has made the panic back off a little.
