Nick I am so happy to hear that you have begun to make changes like this. Getting your Mum to ring was a great idea, and finding a new psychiatrist who you can develop a familiarity with should help no end. And good for you for being honest on that form. If they say you are currently too depressed to start CBT, you need to make sure you ask for interim support. It might get you used to talking about your feelings more, sort of like practice. I really think you will find CBT helpful. I think it will me much easier for you once you have some sort of a plan to follow, even if the steps you might have to make are scary, it always helps to follow a route and know where you are going. My only tip for CBT, is to just try to keep an open mind about what the experts tell you. If you don't believe something they suggest, then try it, and see what happens. I'm sorry things are still not great with your housemates, that must be really lonely on to of everything else. Hang in there mate, this post seems so much more focuses on sticking around, and that makes me so happy. I really think things can get better for you. Lola x Yeahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
