new to it all. help!

[Tj]

Hi all. Not sure where to start or what to say. I've got my first doctors appointment tomorrow to talk to them about my feeling angry, alone, upset, nervous and sick all the time for no reason. So hard to explain how I feel and I'm scared.. if I can't even tell you, who I dont know and who understand what I'm going through, how am I supposed to talk to a professional about it?? I guess im asking for help or advice!

Hi Tj,

Good luck with the doctors appointment tomorrow, there is nothing to worry about. Leave them to ask the questions and you just answer them the best you can. It's hard to open up to a total stranger and sometimes I hold back even if I know the answer to a question. Takes time to build a platform and trust with a new person. Sometimes the first doctor/therapist you get might not be compatible with you so you can always switch until you find someone you're comfortable with.

Hope all goes well x

If it helps, your feeling the way many ppl do, but will not admit it. They won't seek help, but instead they might drink or take drugs to escape. You're taking the right steps by reaching out. Is it really a surprise that ppl in today's world are feeling lonely, left out and feeling this sadness? There are real reasons to be sad, yet we are not left hopeless. You have a purpose.
