just a space for people can say what they have been doing today so we can keep up and in touch

Parents
  • I’ve just talked to GP. My usual GP wasn’t there and so I chatted online with different one and he insisted on calling me. So we had a phone chat. My GP wanted me to start therapy and I wasn’t sure and today I just wanted to tell them that I’m willing to try it. But this guy just told me to self refer to IAPT and kept asking me why I’m feeling the way I’m feeling (you’ve got house, you’ve got family, husband, job - why aren’t you happy? You’ve got everything) Maybe he wanted to help me but he made me feel awful because I’ve got everything and still feel anxious and depressed and thought about killing myself. I’m so ungrateful, weak and negative person. And now  I’m crying again. 

  • you’ve got house, you’ve got family, husband, job - why aren’t you happy? You’ve got everything

    I may be misreading the context (direct questioning can work) but that's seems a pretty useless GP if they left you in a worse state.

    I’m so ungrateful, weak and negative person.

    You are none of those things.
