I'm glad you found someone to see. I'm sure they will be understanding and sympathetic. I'm always nervous about seeing a new T.

I'm surprised I got someone I have been on the waiting list since end of September and I heard the list was at least 12 weeks long. I'm a little bit unsure about it now as I'm depressed and unsure I could give it my all

While you are feeling depressed may turn out to be the best time to go. I hope it helps.

Really nervous tomorrow afternoon I see a psychologist for a 1:1.... it's the unknown I'm worried about. She could say I don't need it or she could say I need it. Who knows :-(

Hey! It went great thanks. It was an hour and a half session where the Psychologist asked loads of questions about me. The Trainee was there too writing notes. I have an appt in Jan with the Trainee. I start my sessions then. OMG! It's crazy I thought they would say I was too well to receive support. I see my CPN on Fri so will see what he says. As the Psychologist communicates with my team (GP,CPN, Psych, Peer Support Worker and Community Worker).... I'm just glad I'm going to get better in my head. If I can stop some of the unnecessary stress and worry then I'll be happy :-)
