Help! (please). In 3 minutes i'm supposed to be seeing my counsellor but I have emailed him to say that I can't come because i'm so nervous. I'm not even sure what makes me nervous because I trust him and get on with him. He's leaving soon and i'd really like to be able to use the time that I have with him well. I just can't get over the anxiety that I feel when i'm about to go and see him. Well it's around for days before. I know that i'll regret this so much.

I seem to get nervous about everything: work, driving, watching tv, sleeping, waking up, seeing friends...everyday things. My psychiatrist put me on major tranquilisers once but they left me hardly able to talk. I just don't know what to do, and advice would be apreciated. Thanks a lot.

	I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much. Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass. You didn't come this far just to come this far.
