Hi,
So, I had my first appointment today with a new GP. He wound up asking about meds that I'm on, which led to what am I seeing a psychiatrist for, which led to me telling him about my diagnoses (Bipolar 1, Borderline Personality, PTSD, GAD). And he asked about why I have PTSD, and what happened. I told him that I would rather not talk about it, and he seemed to get kind of angry. He told me that I need to be honest with him about things. Then, he saw the scars from my self harm, and he asked about that, and I told him again, I would rather not talk about it.
He wound up telling me that I need to be honest with him and trust him, or we can't work together, and he can't be my doctor. This was my first time ever meeting him.
I kind of feel like I did something wrong by not feeling comfortable talking about why I have PTSD, but I haven't even started working on that in therapy, and I've been seeing my therapist since July 2013. Is it wrong for me to not want to talk about it with a GP that I just met? I tried to explain to him that it took me a year to trust my therapist with non-serious things, and he said that he can't work with someone who doesn't trust him...
I'm kind of just confused now about if I was wrong to act and react that way, or if it was me that was the problem or him... or what?
I've had problems with trust though since as far back as I can remember, and my psychiatrist says that it's partially due to the events of my past, which is part of why he diagnosed me with PTSD (among other things).
Sorry for how long this is. I'm just really not sure right now...
Edit: I am also not sure if I posted this in the right place. It might be better suited in the Survivor's of Abuse forum, or anxiety, or somewhere else. Sorry if it's in the wrong place.
