Hi @OliverB I read in another thread that you were going to do an internship in a pharmacy. Is that happening at the moment? The reason I mention this is if you are maybe you could work half shifts to take some of the pressure off.

No we can't diagnose here but we can sympathize with you.
I hope that the visit to your p'doc in a week can be helpful for you. You can't know what they will suggest or diagnose. They wont think you are faking it. I have found it helpful in the past to write things down before I go so that I wont forget anything.

Mental illness is no respecter of persons. Can you call the psychiatrist's rooms and see if you can pick up any cancelled appointments?
