I had an appointment with the senior clinical psychologist today at my local hospital. This was in follow up to a referral that my GP sent him.

I’m not filled with confidence that much will come out of it, yet, I am trying to keep an open mind.

I was not hardy enough, I was not able to duck under cover and let this storm pass. I crashed. Hard. I went to my GP and asked for help. We discussed things and I agreed to try a course of anti-depressants and to go see a psychiatrist. The anti-depressants are not showing great signs of helping, but I can’t swear they aren’t either. Today was my first visit to the psychiatrist. It did not go badly. But it did not achieve anything either.
