Hi, I got my appointment thro yesterday for my appointment with the community mental health team.......its this fri at 10am ARGH, letter said its a screening appointment and will last an hour?? what will they ask me etc, im absoutly petrified and my anxiety has been thro the roof since i got the appointment :weep: Im scaredthat im going to be such a state on the day they won't be able to assess me properly......im also not good talking to strangers about my feelings (apart from u guys!) and always put on a brave face to others! Im currently taking citalopram this will be my 8th week on it! thanks xx

Don't be daft :hugs:If you had a broken leg you wouldn't be a "failure" for needing someone to put a plaster cast on it. Same thing. You are seeking help in recovering so you can get back to being a great wife and mum!
