Group therapy councillor called me for a check up on how the apt went, of which I told him. Has asked me to try and put things out of my mind as best I can till Thursday and he opened a slot for a one on one appointment in the afternoon.

Not long after, wife came home and gave me the broader picture of what had happened (she had to shoot off for work straight after the appointment) as both my mum and her saw the consultant with me absent from the room... in addition to that she told me that my recollection (as is apparently often the case when on edge) was fragmented... that the reason for the delay was going to be because of the ADHD assessment as an overall view would be hard to analyse without the full picture.

Both wife and group therapist told me that I wouldn't have been advised I'd get a second appointment if the consultant didn't think there was some validity here... but that I have to be patient as the Mental health services in the nhs are underfunded and specialists are swamped.

Not sure how I feel at the moment... typing this as a series of events... but as said... I feel burnt out and running on fumes... I just want to move on with some definitive answers.
