I'm definitly going back!! 
My GP gets uncomfortable talking about MH, so the psych'll be awesome in that regard...
I wish he's give me sleep meds though. I'm exhausted and extra time in HSC'll just give me more of a chance to fall asleep! 
Going from weekly appts with psychologists to fortnightly with him is a bit tough, but once HSC's over, my psych can help me cope me easily.
JD: I honestly never thought I'd say this, but it's worth the hunt. It really is! Perseverance pays off! 
Gordon Parker's interview with Margaret Throsby was on repeat the entire 3 weeks I was waiting for the first appt. I strongly recommend listening to it.
You sound so positive, shadow. I am so happy to see that!
As for sleeping - most psychiatrists will only give meds as a last resort - and honestly, once you go on sleeping tablets it's often really hard to get off them. I find it more effective to use other techniques like meditation, making sure you have a good sleep-wake routine. Have you checked out the factsheet on RO? There are some great tips on there(http://au.reachout.com/How-to-get-a-good-nights-sleep). I have also recently downloaded some apps on my phone that are helping me sleep... apps like gentle, soothing, relaxing music or noises like rain or rainforests. I find they help me relax and stop focusing on other things going on around me.
Good luck with it. Keep being amazing!
Good Luck!
Write stuff down if you get nervous.... Like MM said, questions are good. I ask HEAPS of them! Don't be afraid to disagree. They'll apreciate your reasons. If you can't explain why you disagree, tell them. Mine didn't bat an eyelid.
The first sessions always the hardest for me.....
Now I look forward to it
Shadow, I am so glad that you look forward to going to see your psychiatrist... I do as well.
It's a great opportunity to get everything "off my chest".
