First doctors appointment

[aimeemw]

I'm scared.
Really, really scared.
Tomorrow at 9.30 I have an appointment with the GP.
I don't know what I'm meant to say.
All I know is that after 5 years of thinking about getting help, I'm actually going to do it. I signed on to this, and another site to get some support and advice.
What am I meant to say?
What's going to happen to me?

Thank you.

As someone who has only recently gone through this, I would strongly recomened that you write downwhat you want to say to your doctor first. Then if you clam up you can just hand them what you have written and its over and done with. Makes things a little easier.

Really you want to tell the doctor what is bothering you. Tell them about your mood. How your feeling ect. Give them as much info as possible so that they can help you.

They will probably ask how long you have been feeling like this. And maybe discusse what has caused it. Then they will probably ask you to come back and see them in a weeks time so that they can see how your feeling again.

Congrats on getting help though hun. It is a huge step. Good luck with everything.

Say how you're feeling in that moment when you're in there. You don't have to say everything right off. You can see him/her again. S/He will be able to assess where you are and take it from there. They may offer you counselling, or/and medication.
It does feel scary. Especially when you've been holding onto things so long, and now there's potential relief in sight.
