Hi, i'm also from the UK - sorry to hear you're having difficulties and i know how hard it is to speak to GP's a lot of the time.

It might eventually get to the point where you'll have no choice but to accept help so i would encourage you to try and seek at a time when you'll fully understand the options open to you.

A doctor is a doctor - yes a lot of them having appalling bed side manners but they've also seen and done rather a lot, i would be surprised if they hadn't come across your problem before. As long as you're clear about what you're willing to try and what you feel might not be right for you, they should be accommodating enough. If not, keep trying, persistence eventually pays off.

At my GP surgery they have a system whereby if you're not happy with the advice of one doctor you can see another, do you have that option available to you? It might be worth inquiring.

The biggest issue a lot of people face is not knowing what they think would help them - and if this is the case for you i would be honest and say so, in fact the more honest you can be with your doc the better. I would also request a referral to your local community mental health team (CMHT) as they would be better placed at judging what help you need in any case. You'll see a psychiatrist there and you could be given the option of therapy or counselling along with medication should you so desire it. Good luck.
