I have been seeing this doctor for the last 5 yrs (almost as long as I have been an adult), she has been the one to refer me to various professionals and helped me get on my meds and change them the last time (including assessing my situation at the time and advising of the best time to do it).

I cannot make it into her practice with my hours so I am told to call every 2 weeks and she has a dicussion with me about my current state.
We have an amazing rapport and she spent a month trying to get me into the psychiatric program next door to my work but to no prevail.

I am seeing her at the start of next week. We are just trying a "wash out" period at the moment so my progress will be discussed in the appointment. She has advised me to take advantage of my JUST being under 25 and using headspace counselling on top of my current counselling, with which I have an appt at the end of the month.

We need to wait a couple more months and then she can refer me back to an OCD specialist so we are biding our time.
She also knows that I am attending IRL PTSD and anxiety groups and is very encouraging of that. Unfortunately the PTSD group is on hiatus until the end of the month but anxiety group is tonight.

TL;DR My doctor understands my situation VERY well and I have a lot of support coming up, I am just struggling right now while everything is in the pipeworks.
