Am feeling really nervous, even about going there alone (DH will be having the kids - can't drag them all with me)

I will cry like a baby!

It is scary to go for the first time - I remember a friend threatening that he would take a day off work to make sure I went as I was making noises about not going (was pretty poorly by then).

But you are in control - you don't need to talk about what you don't want to. Maybe later.

The first meeting is just an assessment really, to see where you are and what you need help with.

And even if you cry like a baby - that's good - give it space.

it will go well!

Thankyou,

I get nervous about talking to people anyways, i start hyperventalating

So knowing I'm going there to talk about the things I am makes me really really nervous.

I managed OK at the GPs though.

therapist will have seen it all before - don't worry about it.
