Hi Isa,
Welcome tot he community here at Beyond Blue. You will find so many different threads and topics here, plus a lot of information as well on depression.
If I was in your shoes, I would phone the local Doctor surgery and ask the receptionist if she can recommend a Dr in the centre who is best able to help with a possible case of depression. Talk openly with the Dr about how you feel or write it down and pass on a list of feelings and thoughts to the Dr.
Here at Beyond Blue, you can use the phone help line on 1300 22 4636. They may be able to help you find a Dr in your area who can assist you.
I have used the phone help line and also the Chat Online service here at Beyond Blue. You can email as well.
Sharing how you are feeling here is a great step to take as well. Hopefully other people will offer suggestions too.
If I were you, I would make an appointment to see a different Dr. I would look at the resources available here and consider using one or all of the help services available through this site.
You could also look up in your local phone book to see what assistance is available in your area under Mental Health.
Hope some of this helps!
Cheerio for now from Mrs. Dools
