regretting ever seeking help

A few months ago I could see myself slipping back into depression, so I went to the GP to get a mental health plan. Now I am regretting ever seeking help as everything I have tried does not seem to work which frustrates me and makes me angry inside.

 I see both a psychologist and my GP every few weeks but in reality I don’t know why I bother they both must think I am a drama queen and wasting their time it is not like they listen to me anyway. And my psychologist even told me that I am choosing to walk in depression (which annoyed me because I know that it is not true)

I tried meds a few weeks ago but had a bad reaction to them and I am not allowed to try anything else until 4 to 5 weeks after my last dose.

 This is the first time I ever reached out to get medical attention for my depression and follow through with the treatment plan, but now I am regretting it as I feel it has triggered my anxiety more than anything. I faced an 18 month battle of depression on and off and won once before without any help. Even though this depressive episode has only been for the last few months some reason it feels different and kind of worse as I can no longer cry anymore but really feel like I need to cry

 I know I need help to get through this depressive episode but when I do reach out for help no one listens to me. And they say I am choosing to walk in depression. I faced this battle once before and won without any help and I know I can do it again.

Hi everyone

i just thought I give you an update on what's going on. The investigation against the psych is still going on all-though the people I reported him too passed the investigation  on to another GOV department as they said the investigation is out of their hands. Although I am living on the other side of the country I find it hard when I do go home to visit fearing I may bump into him in and also feeling a little guilty for reporting him..... I went to see a GP the other day because I know I have gone down hill and she thinks that I am suffering from stress with what I went through with the psych and what I went through in Nepal.... So she is referring me to a psych to help me through that....

thanks for listening
