Sometimes it can be really difficult thinking about what we need to do to take care of ourselves, and it's good to have someone else around. Involving a supportive partner or friend in the process may be a good idea. Ask them to spend a bit of extra time with you.

Think about taking someone with you to appointments. They can be a travel buddy, someone to bounce ideas around with, to help think of questions, to stay with you in consultations, or even take notes for you.
