Doctors Again

Posted On: 01/09/2008 12:15:32

Well I have got another appointment too see a doctor about SA/depresion but I am seeing a different GP this time. Hopefully this one will be more sympathetic as last time it was a disaster.

I want to say thank you to everyone who helped and offered me advice after last time, I was very down about it afterwards and you helped me through it.

I am going to plan out what to say this time and try not to hold back. It's so hard for me to say these things out loud though but I know this is the only way I can start to make things better.

I hope it works out for you.

Ive felt I ve had unsympathetic doctors before, its not nice.

Write a list of what you would like to say or a short diary of your emotions & symptoms. Use the list as your guide, if you start to struggle just hand the paper to the doctor. You can walk away knowing you have achieved what you set out to do even if you get tongue-tied or have mental block, so many times I' ve got flustered and after I ve left gone "doh! I wanted to ask this or that". I write a list everytime now as so many times I 've wasted my 15mins(NHS) due to the very thing Im enquiring about.
