Re: when is it time for hospital

I dont really know @Former-Member
I guess im just stuck on alot of things and what to do next. How to make the right decisions for me and really how to act on them.
Im really confused about how to make these decision and how to choose if they will be the right ones

Re: when is it time for hospital

Well, what ways do you know to make decisions?
Go with your gut, write out the pros and cons etc? Any other methods you can think of?

Re: when is it time for hospital

Ive tried writing out the pros and cons but that doesnt seem to have helped
And my head and heart are saying too different things.
Im not really sure what else but i will need to make these decisions particularly about my gp and psychiatrist i was hoping today so i can start fresh next week and be comfortable with what ive chosen @Former-Member

Re: when is it time for hospital

Well what is your pros and cons list?

Re: when is it time for hospital

For my GP and deciding whether to change are:
Pros- i might be able to get a better perspective on things
They might have better options and ideas on what to do
I might bond better with a new one

Cons
I might be able to fix the relationship with the current gp
I might not like the new gp
I will have to tell my story all over again

So it sounds like you are having issues with your current GP.
What are the actual issues with your current GP?

Re: when is it time for hospital

My issues with my gp is that she doesnt listen, only hears what she wants to hear and she makes me uncomfortable.
She always pressures me into talk about the traumatic event whichever one when i only went there to get my scripts. .ive told her a few times that i dont want to talk about the event and that i would rather speak about my medications and how im currently feeling and to leave trauma to my psychologist. But she still constantly pressures me into speaking about it.

Re: when is it time for hospital

Okay, so I see you have a few options:
1. Change GPs
2. Stay with this GP and do nothing
3. Stay with this GP and stand your ground.

I'm going to be a bit of a bitch here, but MH professionals expect you to be able to trot out your innermost secrets and traumatic memories. They do this to try and help you. You will at some stage have to disclose if you want help. If you do not feel comfortable, you need to state so and stand your ground.

I am not sure if it is appropriate for your GP to ask this each and every time you visit.

If she isn't listening to you, than either you can stand up and let her know she is wrong, let it go or change GPs.

So based on what you wrote in the pros and cons list and what i have written above, what are you thinking?

What will happen if you do change and don't like your new GP?

What will you do if you don't change GP and continue in this relationship?
