gosh! this is really odd but...
got a refferal from a shrink just over a year ago..and put on leeds gic waiting list..was amazed to be told it was about three years long.
got used to the idea of waiting and "managed" the nervous breakdown i was having about who i was supposed to be.
guess what dropped on the door mat yesterday?

yup..got appointment for muddle of next month.
now very nervous and unsure of what i want/need/am going to say ect..
I thought I had a bit more time to get my act together and sort out my head a little. gulp!

am not sure which way I need to go and have domestic issues to think about too..when/if I transition its going to mean losing all i have including wife and child..theres a lot to think about and its not all about me.

I was coming round to the idea of maybe waiting another couple of years for things to even out financially and hope my daughter might be a little more understanding when shes a bit older.

or have I just bottled it?

My advice is to go. Explain to them exactly what you're feeling right now and I'd be suprised if they werent able to offer some help or advice. I'm sure they hear this sort of thing a lot.
Well done on getting your appointment so fast btw. Leeds GIC is notoriously slow! ^^
