first visit to new GP and explaining long term MH issues?

This is a follow on from a thread I made a while back, but I didn't want to raise a zombie so started a new one.

I am moving house on Tuesday.
Soon after I need to get myself set up with a new GP.

Obviously I'd go in and register, and yadda yadda, but then would clearly need to make an appointment to get things started.

How to approach it without being 'all the awkward'?

How to explain that my meds do help?
That I'm in long term private therapy which works well for me?
What to do if they want to change my meds?
How to explain my work?
How to explain I need lots of support and reassurance when starting new things and with new people?
How to explain my personality split without them thinking I'm, I don't know what?

I'm just, agh, help?
