My T is affiliated with my university, so there is more flexibility there. When I first went I didn't particularly get a choice, but I've specified now that I have arranged to go back.

I haven't really had any anxiety before, nothing usually bothers me. I know this is technically anxiety, but it doesn't feel like it. It just feels annoying.

Although I guess the trade off is that the expenses here are high to see the doc of your choice and Rx's are expensive, but I prefer that to someone telling me who I can and can't see. Your GP couldn't Rx the meds you think would help?

I counldn't afford to be treated at all under the US system, so I suppose it is good. You can go private if you can afford it. There are limiations on what treatments the GP can initiate, some meds have to be started by a pdoc (but can represcribe).

Maybe. I was in til past 2am most nights last week, but have a more lax timetable this week. Whem I'm not busy I can spend the whole day in bed. I'm so behind with my work but can't be bothered to do it.

I hope the time passes quickly too, but I keep thinking 'at least it gives me time to cancel'. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
