I'm sorry they keep messing you around.

That sounds like a sensible reason to see someone else. Maybe you could see him less often while you see the new person? I found my private T through my local Mind - they had a booklet of local Ts. I also saw a hypnotherapist for a bit, which should help with your eating/exercising/smoking/spending issues. Trouble was that hypnoT was even more expensive than regular Ts; probably because it's supposed to be shorter term.

It was a gym session, so I did 3x10mins of cardio and some weight machines. The cardio was the worst bit: I'm so unfit!
I expected the guy to be more encouraging though, but he just told/showed me what to do and then went off to talk to the guys about the Olympics... :s Anyway I'm seeing the physio on Monday for some exercises for my hips and core, which are apparently shockingly weak! LOL Then I'm going to the gym with my brother Wednesday and then seeing this guy next Friday, which I think is a reasonable amount of exercise for someone who hates any form of exercise!!
The plan is to go back to Uni and ask for another referral as I can't do the full 12 weeks here. Then, hopefully, I will have built exercise into my routine and have enough momentum to maintain it. It will be harder without someone to force me to go (I feel obligated to show up for this guy), but maybe I can go with my housemate or something so we can motivate each other?

My parents don't really understand all the crazy so I tend to keep them at arm's length about how I'm feeling. Plus I want to protect them so they won't worry about me as much. As they don't have that to guide them, they tend to use my behaviour as a sign. So sleeping in 'til midday and then taking naps, which I'm currently doing though not napping every day, makes them nervous for when I go to Uni and they can't keep an eye on me and nag me to get up etc.
I think my course starts in mid-September, but I've had no paperwork to tell me, which stresses me out as I like to plan things and know things in advance. I'll be living with a friend I've lived with before for 3 years with no arguments, so I don't have to worry about house stress. Plus I'm taking my doggy with me to encourage me to get out of the house. Mostly I'm looking forward to distancing myself from the family dramas and getting away from my younger siblings, who are currently on school holidays and DRIVING ME MAD!!! Grrr!
