Need help very sick time is running out before I'm put into an unimaginable hell. Doctors are convinced my problem is anxiety meanwhile it's my lungs I can't breathe or sleep and their medications are gonna make it worse.
Someone please if you're near Scarborough what do I do if I'm already in pain can barely breathe
In the UK doctors are not incharge of your care unless in extreme cases where you have been sectioned.
Even being sectioned doesn't remove all of your liberties.
I don't know why people allow situations to develop where a doctor takes charge of them, especially in cases where they have not been helpful.
If you don't want to take anxiety meds then don't take them. Instead get another opinion, preferably from a specialist.
Doctors fob people off all the time.
I remember going to my GP years and years ago about bad skin (acne). Tried all their antibiotics and topical lotions but it didn't work (unsurprisingly, these meds do nothing to tackle the root cause of acne).
I requested a referral to a dermatologist in order to pursue isotretinoin therapy (Roaccutane).
In short the GP refused to refer me, and said that because I'm very mildly Asperger's, this was causing me to be anxious, have a bad body image, and overthink the severity of my acne.
Obviously complete nonsense.
I complained and was subsequently referred.
Consultant dermatologist said I would likely have needed Roaccutane years prior to me actually going on it!
Dermatologist was useful, put me on it for several months and for years I've enjoyed the best skin :)
