Hi - thanks for the support. I already did postpone starting work by a week (although mainly due to physical illness) - if I'd had to start this Monday there's no way I could have done it. I have strongly considered putting off for longer or even not taking the job at all, but I kind of think that the longer I'm sitting around on my own the more unhappy I'm going to get. And turning the job down would make me feel like a failure. I think I'm just going to start on Monday and see what happens. If it all goes wrong then at least I can say I tried. A friend of mine has a "two week rule" about new situations so I'm going with that.

Trying to get a doctor as well (always REALLY difficult in the UK because everywhere's always full up). If I could get myself referred to a pdoc I think that would really help, but I think it's unlikely to happen unless I actually try and kill myself. So sick of antidepressants that don't work and give you loads of awful side effects. The lofepramine is currently making me feel dizzy and lightheaded whenever I move and last night I was so spaced out I was slurring my speech and forgetting people were there. That's gonna look great on my first day.. I'm even having serious doubts about whether I actually want to do this job at all. Although I've always thought it was what I wanted to do, in actual fact it's what my PARENTS told me I wanted to do when I was very young. It's amazing how stuff like that influences you and you don't remember till years later. What I really want to do is related, but more difficult to get into and produces less of a steady income. I was just saying to someone the other day that I wished I lived in the States because you can get further away from your parents there. ;-) Anyway. Not in as bad a state as the other day. Best wishes
