Got my assessment appointment ....

Hi - I joined this forum a little time ago when I was starting the assessment process. I completed some questionnaires and now have two appointments, both for 2 and a half hours one day after the other. I'm now feeling incredibly anxious - mostly that I am wasting NHS time - that I've managed up until now so why am I pursuing thing and all the reasons I had have evaporated in the face of worry and anxiety. I don't know whether to cancel. I don't know what to expect from the appointments which is making things worse. I also have a questionnaire for a family member but there is no way my family are getting involved so can't get that completed. I know the answers to the questions on it having had previous family discussions but I know that's not the same. I am not even sure what I'm asking for by posting on here just wanted to get the thoughts out somewhere. I don't know whether to proceed or not. I'm so worried that I'll go and be laughed out of the place as an attention seeker.

  • hi - don't think about cancelling - you've got this far in the process so it is best to see it through, otherwise you would always be wondering what if.

    Regarding family questionnaires - I chose not to give details of my family and it wasn't an issue at ll when it came to my diagnosis.

    The psychologist who diagnosed me was incredibly caring and put me at my ease - I hate talking about myself but she made it as painless as it could have been.

    When are your appts?
