Hi Amy

I'm sorry to hear that you're having such a bad time at the moment -
and also that you have no-one to talk to about it. Is there not
anyone - a family member (not necessarily your immediate family), a
friend or a tutor who you can talk to about how you're feeling?

As it's such a long time until you begin your treatmeny - it might
be worth going to see your GP and explain exactly how you feel -
he/she may be able to speed up your referral or at least offer you
some other help, maybe even some counselling where at least you can
talk about your fears etc.

I'm more than happy to talk with you - through this forum or by e-
mail - obviously I don't have all the answers but I've been
suffering from severe OCD for quite a while now and have been
through some really bad patches - so at least I can understand how
you feel. So any time you want to talk - feel free to contact me.

Take care
not waving
