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.

  • I have to say I can totally relate to the original post in regards to the anxiety over the news (IDS in particular) and the insomnia. I must say I've kinda given up on doctors though - there's only so much they can do and they can't change the way the world works which is the main source for many of my issues. There's no magic pill that will make everything ok and there's very little in the way of alternative treatments to drug therapy that I am aware of.
