Hi all, I hope everyones doing ok,
I got the courage to book a Doctor's appointment, as recommended by a councellor and it's less than a week to it now. I have no idea what to expect, say or do. I know when I go in there my mind will go blank and I'll get nervous.
I just wanted to know what the usual procedure is. I'm so scared of being sent out with them saying, it'll go away after exams to get over it whilst I'm desperately trying to convince them that I've been this way for at least 3 years now. I keep thinking that there are so many other people who need their help and that I'm a waste of time, which is giving me second thoughts about going. Do I write a list of things that happen, or just try to remember everything?
Also do i tell them that I've got way too many exams at the moment for any long term counselling? I want to be ok for my exams so I'll get into university, but I'm so unmotivated right now, I feel like there's no point.
I don't want to be sent to an institution either! What if I tell them about my depersonalisation experiences?! And the weird images and insomnia. I'm going crazy thinking about it, I cant bring myself to go to college because I'm scared I'll have a mood swing and either a panic attack, get angry at my friends, or be asked if I'm ok for the entire day.
! I've had 3 hours sleep so sorry for the nonsense rambling
Edit - I also wanted to ask whether any of you get mood swings, what are they like and how quick do your moods change and how bad do they get and whether I should tell my doctor
