Can you go to a coffee shop or something to be a bit more social? Two weeks isn't that long a wait for the NHS or a psych, but waiting is hard

Thanks
I think they probably skipped the 3 month check-up because I was making good progress with the SSRIs & a couple of sessions. Just said to do my annual check up with my GP.
It's more my GP that seems to just write things off as hypochondria. I think I was barking up the wrong tree at times with my CPN trying to pass off some of my returning symptoms as possible AS. Never occurred to me that I was relapsing... I was in denial for a fair while after my symptoms went away last year.
As for the coffee shop thing... problem is I am prone to getting paranoid around people. Think people are following or watching me.
I did manage to go out to the park today which was good mostly. Going to the shops at like 11am seemed ok too because town was quite quiet.
