Thanks so much everyone who helped me on this. I saw the GP today, he was a new one who I hadn't seen before, but overall he was very nice and much more attentive than I had expected.
I was actually a bit stumped when he asked me if there's anything extra I'm looking for like local support groups or counselling through the GP's referral or whether I'd like to stick with the one I'm seeing at university. He made me realise that I'm having all sorts of anxieties but I'm mainly concerned with him helping me sort things with my university, as this is probably the biggest cause of stress for me right now, and maybe after sorting things with uni I can start trying to tackle my other problems like the anxiety and lack of social interaction I've had while being at home for the last 8 months.
He also took my medical form to the reception and said someone would get it sorted and that he would write down some notes now.
I told him about how I'm having a hard time adjusting back to university after being at home for bereavement for almost a whole year and suddenly losing contact with everyone I was friends with last year.
He also asked about whether I have any feelings of self harm but I told him straight away it's the opposite that I'm feeling, if anything i.e a fear of death and losing another parent.
I guess I'm just really lucky that I got to see a nice doctor. I've seen other doctors about other issues like acne etc and I remember that some of them used to be very blunt and never really said much and made me feel like I was wasting their time.
Thanks so much again everyone who helped me, I'll keep you all updated. You all really helped me and gave me the confidence to actually go through with ringing them up and making an appointment this morning. My counselor actually told me over a week ago that I need to make an appointment but I had been putting it off.
