allme I relate TOTALLY about feeling like the doctors don't know what's going on! I notice you're in England, I have this thing about the NHS being **** when it comes to mental health... honestly I don't think doctors know enough about mental health.
I went to a diff doc (she's new) last week and she's trained in mental health and for the first time a doctor knew what she was talking about,s he even know about my medication without looking it up in a book!!

Anyway I was just gonna suggest to you, if you feel rushed, do yo know you can book a longer appointment? like, at my doctors each appointment is actually just 5 minutes! as if we can express everything that's going on in 5 minutes. maybe if we had an ingrowing toenail but not mental health problems! So anyway I recently found out you can request a double appointment (or just longer I'm not sure). So I saw my doc and it was 10 mins instead of 5. It did make a difference. It's still not long but it was much better and was able to DICUSS my meds rather than literally just going in and having a prescription printed off within 1 minute and then having to leave.

I relate so much to your ups and downs. I despair over it. But nobody listens. I'm only diagnosed depressed and eating disordered.

Hope things improve for you x
