How do I talk to my doctor and actually get help?

Ive been, depressed, anxious, for, well for years. Its only getting worse, yesterday, as a result of the figures of IDS's bloody handed death toll, I had another meltdown.

I tried going to my doctor for help, explaining that my life felt pointless I was just waiting to die, all he did was laugh at the 'deep' 'philisophical' problems I am having. It actually made things worse, becasue now I cant shake the feeling that he left a note 'drug seeking malinger' in my file.

( I was trying to make a point that the last time I had a good nights leep in years was after my wisdom tooth surgery hopped up on I dont know what kind of drugs. I was not after more, I was just trying to show how bad my insomnia and internal anxieties were. I mean I go through periods of quitting coffee for a span just to break my addiction/tolerance, cold turkey 1 week to break the biochemical chains.)

So, assuming I can work up the courage to ask to see a diffent GP in my surgery, how do I actually get things taken seriously?

Because I can't cope, and I can cope less and less, and I'm breaking.

    This GP, took things much more seriously than the last, he sorta focussed on what I fekt wa sthe sghhallow end how the news and things sets me off, but he didnt actually laugh at me or leave me feeling worse off, and said if things got worse to see him again. all in all it went much better than last time, I'm not un-anxious, but I'm filtering things more ruthlessly and feeling sufficently less fragile I'm able to work on projects again.

    Didnt get everything I wanted dealt with dealt with, and despite a full page of notse still not sure I put it across properly but I did to quite my thread title 'actually get help' so a big thanks to all who gave me advice.
