Thanks to all of you guys for your support, I know I'd find it a lot harder without this site.
Thanks Pseudonym for the meetup link, was useful although I'm not sure if I'll get the courage to go to anything, I'm trying to work on that.
Kalamity_Jane... I haven't got a social worker or anyone that can push my waiting time forward, just me. It just feels like I've been 'forgotten about' if that makes sense. When I first went to my doctor for help she sent me to a counselor who sent me to a 'self help' person (not qualified counselor, just a 3 appointment thing over a few weeks), didn't help at all so she suggested I went to WellWoman's centre, so I did n about 3 years on from first getting help I'm on a waiting list to see a counselor.

thanks to everyone again
Molly
