Well I went to the assessment.
Load and loads of questions, why I wanted help, how I wanted that help etc. 50 mins is in the scheme of things not a lot of time. Yet feeling unreal, anxious etc is was like I had spent the whole day there and she never smiled once.
I start therapy sessions with her on Thursdays. She is convinced I have the determination to beat the anxiety etc. I did say that despite all the things I had and am doing (like driving, going to a supermarket for a few items (reluctantly I admit, stopping taking pills to lose weight) etc I could not pat myself on the back for.
So she then asked whether what she had said ie well done had had on my feelings, I said it had gone right over my head. I guess some work (if not a lot is needed).
I feel :( that the NHS is not paying for this and we are having to fund it ourselves. My husband sees it as a priority which promps more guilt about what else we can be using the money for. It seems like a no win situation when it comes to finances. I will continue to go around in circles if I dont get help right now, I feel unable to wait for the NHS to kick into action.
Anyway, I have done enough venting. Just wanted you all to know how it went.
Love Fran XX
