Went to see GP this morning...told me to take 40mg 3 times daily for a month and if they work to get some more. He said they will probably deal more with the physical symptoms but don't rule out them working slightly on the mental side of things too.

He also gave me a number for a registered Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist guy near where I live who does 50 minute sessions for £35 which I suppose is fairly reasonable in this day and age! Either that or I could wait up to 2 months for a NHS appointment for counselling.

Fingers crossed they do the trick!
