I went to the GP! Sat in the waiting room for about forty minutes feeling more and more panicked, almost left without seeing her. I'm glad I didn't though, the actual appointment was better than expected. The waiting list for official NHS counselling is pretty long but they have a student counsellor who's going to see me in a couple of weeks time. It would have been sooner but I'm going home next week for a few days.
So things are moving, which I guess is good.
