Update: I just scheduled my appointment with the T my old T recommended. It's not for another THREE WEEKS (ugh) but that's what I've come to expect with my uni clinic as they don't have the money to have a full staff. I'm really nervous and I wish I had scheduled it sooner because now I'll just be dreading it/be apprehensive for the next three weeks which will be hellish.
But... I did it. So that's good I guess.
Thanks everyone for your advice
