Determined not to cancel appointment tomorrow

I have made a few g.p appointments over the last few months and always cancelled a week or so before as I've bottled out of going.
Over the last 2 years or so my life has been so beyond challenging and as usual I've had to be the strong one for everyone else, I put everyone before me and keep everything I'm feeling to myself (apart from a couple of lovely MNetters messaging me)
Nobody in rl knows what's been going on but I am literally on the edge and feel like I will explode if I don't finally sort myself out.
I'm bricking it but tomorrow I am determined to go to my appointment and tell them everything, I don't know what they can do for me but anything is better than keeping quiet.
Has anyone else felt that they couldn't go through with it but finally did? Please tell me your success stories to give me some hope that I'm not wasting their time x

Hi rainbow. Glad you are feeling much better. Which antidepressant have they given you? Flowers

He gave me fluoxetine (sp?) I had pnd when I had my son 8 years ago and was prescribed these and they worked for me then with no side effects.
I had a massive row with my husband over the phone on Monday night and he is working away, he sent me a message tonight to ask how I got on which meant a lot, I cried and spilled it all to him too.
I'm exhausted but feel like a weight's been lifted x
