How lucky you are Blackie to have a surgery so close to your home :)

It's a good idea to write down what you want to discuss with your Dr. Are you going on your own or taking someone with you? I have found that I am much better if I take my partner with me as quite often I get myself so worked up in the surgery that when I get home I've forgetten half of what the Dr has told me and have to get my partner to remind me.

Good luck with your appointment, I hope it goes well for you :D

Hi - hope it goes well for you. I write down stuff when I go to the DR's as I seem to have a memory problem and forget what I wanted to say. It also saves time and more time for the Dr to speak.

Good luck and let us know how it went.

Hiya
thanks all for you kind words and encouragment.
I made it to the doc's feeling terriable. But stuck it out. My mum came with me, i still dont have the conferdence to do it alone. I went in to see the doc by myself and had a good meeting. He is going to refer me back to the mental health team centre as there is a new doctor there who is ment to be very good. Also he is writting letter so i can take my ou exam from home.
Hopefully this is the start of getting better
Take care
Blackie
