After a 10 month wait I finally have an appointment for further assessment /treatment..but I'm scared. I'm scared that because I am not suicidal, not a danger to others that I will be put on another list (does quiet, stifling despair count?)..or that they will say there is nothing wrong with me when I know that there is. I'm scared, angry, and terrified. I don't know what to do.

What barriers does it lead to?
Do you find you're not doing things that you could otherwise do?
You're not 'meant' to be in constant despair any more than you're 'meant' to be in chronic pain.

With me it helped when I explained how it had impacted on my ability to do my work.

Just say what you have said here. If they're crap with you then ask to see someone else, but usually psychologists etc are compassionate.

What kind of help are you looking for?

I don't know how to explain correctly, I don't know how to put it in to words properly at the moment..but I just wanted to say thank you, I do appreciate your answer Flowers I will try and reply in a bit.

It's really good that you've asked for the appt.
You're asking for help.

It's a difficult thing to do.

It'll be OK though.
