I don't think my home doctor reacted correctly at all. I may be signed up with my uni doctor, but he is the families doctor, my old doctor, and the doctor I was about to sign up with when I got back. I don't ever want an appointment with him again. This isn't the first time he's ignored me. I'd rather spend £10 travelling on the train to my uni town than get discarded the way I felt today again. However, I shouldn't have to, especially not in this state. I just hope I get treated with this other doctor.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Unfortunately, dealing with doctors who won't listen happens all too often. What I've started doing is to carefully write out everything, even the tiniest detail, that I feel is wrong, so that I have everything I need to say with me when I see the doctor. That way the doctor can't fluster me and make me forget all the things I need to get out. I hope you find someone to listen and I wish you strength in getting through this!
