Is it just me that feels like a inconvenience to there doctor. Its the first time ive rang her after trying working with a group that helps anxiety. She didnt really have time to listen on the phone & was repeating i had to go see them..i explained i have trouble leaving house to far and explained id tried gradually building up how far a leave but its taking along time. (not to mention the pressure of having to go doctors to get sorted is the place that triggered it all). Shes said she'll come out to me which to be honest i didnt want i just wanted to see if all my options id have to travel to but she said i'll need a checkup. & basically any help il have to go to doctors to get it therapy wise. So i feel stuck in a rut....She finished by saying il have to get back to you next week i have terminal cancer patients i have to visit, im presumming youll be in the house then.... I felt like replying "eee you think". I just felt like a was a big inconvenience to her like a was bonidle kid with a worries wasten her time. I totally understand there over run but i felt like saying sorry its not my fault ive tried for nearly a year going further/groups/forums/books, bothering you was my last option.
Just me been touchy?

Yeah you have to put things in the context of how they were trained. What really gets their attention is things that kills/seriously harms long term folks. Anxiety..... they understand(intellectually) but it does come lower down the priority ladder compared to injury or more serious illness. I'm not saying it's right or anything. Just the way it is and the they way they we trained and are expected to practice. You will need to visit unless your lucky enough to get a doc to rx and single dose of a med like valium to help get you into that first visit. Yes, they need to see you at first for sure. Alankay
