Thanks, I have thought about writing things down but if I do I might get carried away with trying to explain too much at once, my GP appointment isn't until Tuesday & although part of me wants to tell my GP, I may just cancel my appointment as I have to take a bus just to get there, I don't really have any friends close by who could come with me, I'm so apprehensive I often have to go vomit before leaving the house. When I was in the hospital I met a few OC's (Occupational Therapists) they were great & really reassuring - I did ask about seeing an OC outside the hospital but the answer was I'm not ill enough they don't feel I need it or could benefit from it, I used to have a housing support key worker who'd take me to appointments & support me through things like getting out the house & catching a bus, but that ended last year around April time as the support is only for 2 years. I'm just really feeling on edge, think I'm gonna try & stop thinking about it for the time being & go to bed, get an early night, guess I've just gotta hope that by tuesday I feel strong enough to go & to tell my GP so I can get some better help. I didn't know that such a thing as gradual exposure therapy existed, so I guess that's kind of reassuring :)
