More than once, forum members have mentioned perhaps changing GPs who
doesn't seem to "get" the seriousness of my anxiety which can spiral
into panic attacks, paranoid thoughts about neighbours, obsessive
thinking, depression. She has been with me since Day One of my near
death medical experience years ago - surgery, referrals, blood tests,
ultra sounds, all the physical aspects to keep me alive, liaison with
specialists at Royal Brisbane etc. She has all that info at her
fingertips and is very good at maintaining vigilance over my physical
condition. I did manage to get 5 or 6 free referrals to a psych which
have now run out. The psych said I still needed more and she would
recommend to GP that I continue. That was a couple of months ago but
nothing has happened. Since last time the psych saw me, several traumas
have happened to me and I have gone downhill badly - trying to cope with
the aftermath. I am not on meds - GP advises against them. I feel I
desperately need to talk to, even cry for the whole hour all the
tension, stress, fear, sadness and despair out of me but have no-one to
do it with, or in the care of. I have run BB helpline a couple of times
which is a release of tension for those moments, but I can't do that
every day and talk for hours! I told my GP a couple of days ago about a
dreadful computer hacking experience I had - lost a lot of money - they
took control of my computer, my life, my privacy. I feel threatened,
unsafe, at risk, not sure what other authorities I should report them
to, very confused, became very tempted to have a drink. (I can't drink
due to health, it will kill me).....and feel I am about to fall into a
million pieces on the floor! If I go to another GP when do I start
telling my story? How far back do I go? Will she need to know EVERYTHING
about my medical experiences? All the preceding medical history? What
about my medical records? Or do I just start from Day One, where I am
NOW, and I am feeling NOW and how I need to talk to a professional
counselllor/psych NOW. What is the correct procedure? Should I tell my
current GP I am looking elsewhere, out of courtesy, or is it a free
world and I can do this if I wish?
