Why is it when I say how down and depressed I am no one seems to listen to me, not even my GP, it is so frustrating and it makes me just want to give up as it just makes me more distraught, being ignored all the time just makes me cry for days, like now I am crying while I write this :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

    Hi catseyes

    I am so sorry to hear that your GP doesn't listen to you.

    Get one that does!

    We have several GPs in our surgery and each and everyone is completely different - perhaps you have more GPs at your surgery?

    If not go elsewhere and be listened to - you deserve it - you deserve the same treatment as anyone else receiving care on the nhs.

    Good luck

    Hello catseyes I'm really sorry that you are feeling like this. Is there something specific that you want your GP to do when you are feeling like this? Sometimes I find it hard to articulate my feelings when I am depressed. It might be easier for you to text or email a friend and arrange to meet up. I know it is hard when you are feeling low. If it is something more specific when you go to the GP try writing a few pointers down for example: ask to be referred for CBT, make an appointment to see the CPN, or ask for a referral to see a psychiatrist, ask about changing my meds. When I have been feeling really low I see my GP once a week and she makes the next appointment. I hope this helps. Pooh.

    Hey Catseyes smile

    My heart goes out to you.I know what that's like i've been there sad Some GP's don't take mental health problems too seriously (even though they should).You should change your doctor and find one that will listen to you and help you,There are really good doctors out there also who will help you.It's horrible feeling the way you do,especially when your asking for help and not getting it.

    Don't give up!! It's hard but once you get the right doctor and right help you will feel better smile
