I think you should mention in the assessment how much diazepam you rely on because some therapists would consider it therapy interfering behaviour to take diazepam before appointments. I'm not saying that is definitely everyone's opinion, they may be totally fine with it, but it may help to talk about it. It concerns me that you need to take that much diazepam for so many situations, at the end of the day it's not really healthy. The anticipation of something is always worse than actually doing it, and the more you do something the less scary it becomes. I went from taking 10mg diazepam just to have my hair cut to not needing it all, so it can be done.
