Heya,
I am really anxious at the moment as I have got my first assessment tomorrow and it's a face-to-face one.
I was on the shortlist for cancellations and had a phone call last week (coincidentally on my way to my UC appointment).
Apart from taking Mum with me and my medical history notes - I really don't know what else to expect.
It's a 2.5 hour appointment - and I know that until I feel comfortable, I probably won't actually speak - usually I let Mum start off until I feel able to.
Would it be an idea to maybe take a fidget item with me so I can have something in my hands for something to keep my anxiety down?
Half of me wants to just curl up under my duvet and cancel the appointment - but the other (slightly more rational) half of me knows I need to go and I have been waiting just over 3 years for an appointment.
What can I expect to be said at the appointment?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Mweekie xx
