Hi there,

You've done the right thing going back to see your GP and she obviously understands.

I often think how hard it must be for our families to understand fully as they've not experienced what it feels like. Outsiders don't know why we can't just snap out of it - if only it were that easy.

Some people have said it helps to point them to this site to look at what people post as you can really see what people are feeling. I've not done this myself but it might help?

Take care

Pip xx

Thanks to everyone on this site for all your kind words
