Whoa, Roman. That really blows.
I don't like going to GPs either. I *know* they don't get it and I don't trust them at all with mental health issues. Some really don't care but a lot just don't have the opportunity to get additional training etc to handle mental health even just at the basic level. It's worse in rural areas. When I was living in a rural area, my GP didn't know anything about how to manage my healing scars (I had a car accident and my injuries had to be treated like a burn victim's). I knew more about it so would I want to go to that GP about my mental health? Yeah, I wouldn't be comfortable. It's the reason I never got help years back when I should have.
