Had the appointment, wasn't as bad as I thought. The doctor listened to my ramblings, and asked a lot of questions. He seems to think my issue is more with anxiety than depression. He referred me to a self-help site dealing with cognitive bahvioural therapy (CBT). He also sent me for blood work to check vitamin levels etc., and re-booked me for a follow up appointment in two weeks time. He gave me a referal for a councillor, should I decide to seek one.

So I went for my bloodwork this morning, and printed the step-by-step CBT course information, which I glanced at yesterday but will probably get more into tonight. Step in the right direction I suppose

Also talked to my boyfriend about it all last night. When at the appointment my doctor asked what my bf thought of all this, and I realized I really hadn't talked to him about it, or told him about making the appointment, which I should have. So I told him about the appointment, what the doctor said, and explained a little bit about the anxiety I had been feeling.

I was worried I guess that my bf would judge me or see me differently. He was very sweet about it, said he wasn't too sure what to think, but he said he knew a lot of my anxiety probably had to do with him, and he was very sorry about that.
