Hi, NP. It's lovely to see you but obviously not great that you are struggling. It sounds like you have a lot going on and you are realising it and focusing on it more than you might have allowed yourself to do in the past. I understand trying to block things out and just get by but that's not the best way to deal with things. I am so proud of you for making an appointment, please let us know how you get on if that's ok. This is a huge and positive first step and yes it might be difficult to begin with if you are offered some support and that involves you looking at things that you're struggling with but it is way more useful in the long term than just keeping things inside and not dealing with them. You deserve support.
If you haven't already had your appointment and you see this, it can be helpful to write everything down and then put them in some sort of order with a brief explanation so you can say to the person 'I have x amount of things that are important to me right now' so you can make sure you get to say everything or have further contact if you can't cover it all.
Good luck.
