Saw my dr
told him about my thoughts and how I’m feeling
he told me to just think of ibe thing at a time
how dumb is that
how do I do that without thinking about everything else
he says “I think you’ll have a fantastic year”
what a stupid thing to say when I’m feeling S
my BP is very high still but he says oh that’s not your true pressure. It would be lower than that
my stomach hurts
headache again

Hi @BlueBay
Sounds like he just brushed things aside.
Doesn't sound like he helped much
What are your plans for today? Can you do something nice for yourself?

Resting sounds good @BlueBay especially if you are going out tongight.
Where are you going for dinner?
Did your gp say anything about seeing him again or what you can do from here?

No he didn’t say to come back
and with my high BP I would have thought he would say come back
he’s booked out for 3 weeks but I can see the other Dr I saw the other day m. He was very good.
going to a tapas place for dinner.
the way my stomach feels I won’t have much
yiu Know you’re right - I feel my dr didn’t hear me especially when I told him about our finances.
si is strong. Sh is too.
I just want someone to hear me. Yo validate what I’m saying. And how I’m feeling.

Hi @Shaz51 💗
@BlueBay maybe seeing the other gp might be a good idea if he was more interested in how you are going. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes does help.
Sometimes that validation and acknowledgment is a really big thing for us.
I know it's not the same but we hear you here hon.
Sounds like a yum place for dinner.

All I wanted was for him to say “sorry you’re feeling like this or going through this”
i dont care what he thinks about my year ahead. I don’t feel it right now.
he has no idea how stressed I am
Sometimes I feel sh would be good idea so he can see how bad I feel and think.
and I hate putting in a face for others.
supposed to catch up with old work colleagues in sat. I don’t want to go. Listen to all of them about holidays and great things they’re doing.
might find an excuse.
