Take a list of the meds you've taken and how you reacted. That'll help you answer questions. I like to take a book to read in the waiting room to calm myself.

My reply is coming a bit late, since you're already back from your appointment. I just wanted to say that I'm going to see my GP on Wednesday; there are a few things that he will be expecting to discuss but another reason is that my partner says i need to see a psychiatrist and told me to make the appointment. So it will be interesting to see what happens. My partner is showing signs of dementia. My memory is getting really bad over a short period. It's a pity we are no longer with the same GP. He's stayed with his flirty GP and I have parted company with her because she is dangerous.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope your psychiatrist is good and helps, and I hope your new GP is not dangerous :(.

My new GP seems switched on and not unkind, though a bit dismissive. I doubt I shall get as far as the psychiatrist department. If I need anything along those lines, it might be counselling.

Good Luck UnBaked Cake

Know that they are human just like you. There is nothing

they haven't heard throughout their profession.

Pull your shoulders down from your ears and take a deep

belly breath and exhale slowly.

You are going to be okay. You are in a safe place.

Let us know how it went. :) xx

as time goes on. :) xx

I would not worry about it, he/she is probably even more nervous in meeting somebody as wonderful as you. Straight shoulders, no slouching, and look ‘em in the eye. You’ll be great…
