Hi Lu.
This appt is obviously worrying you and making you feel stressed.
If you don't feel well/up to it then perhaps just don't go and ring to say you are unwell as long as you are coping day to day.
You can have my cold as well if you like!
Seriously, as long as it doesn't trigger a pattern of not feeling able to go I'd just give it a miss tomorrow.
Take care.

thanks belle

the problem is im going for lithium levels check and I missed my last one
xx
I also think its because im worried about my benefit form ,mums biopsy next week and mum having lots of money!!!!!
im ever so tired and I just don't want to be around people
I don't know why I have to go every 2 weeks for lithium checks
and I think it might be if the doctor upsets me that's another thing I will have to worry about
and
I think I know ,its because my mum isn't going with me ,my cpn is
thanks for replying
im being a pain I know
and I do feel sick I had quiche for tea and I thought it was nice but it wasn't

Hi there Lu and no you're not being a pain!
OK, sounds like you need to grit your teeth and go to the appt then.
You have worked out the other stuff which worrying you so how about make a list then you don't have to keep worrying about remembering them and going round in circles?
Hopefully the doctor will be kind and sensitive. Do you see the same one each time? Could you (or through your CPN) ask why you have to have your levels checked so often? There must be a medical reason but I don't know anything about lithium - sorry.
Maybe see how it goes having your CPN with you instead of your mum. If you cope perhaps you can think of a nice reward for yourself?
I'm sure you will be fine.
Hope you can get some sleep.
