So i first posted here a few years ago. Id been diagnosed on the NHS in Spring 2017, but my GP wouldnt cooperate with shared care. Months went by and important parts of my life disintegrated. Eventually they budged a little in December of 2017 and my GP gave me an obligatory ECG. Then a few days later i develop a persistent rash on both my chest and my right foot where the electrodes had been. I already had a long standing fear of doctors due to a grievous injury i got in hospital that left me with PTSD and chronic pain, and all the conflict with the GP plus the infection, i broke down, i couldnt face pushing any more. The stress became too much.
So limped on, suffering chronic extreme stress, constantly overwhelmed, barely holding down a part time job and reliant on my parents, excluded at work due to my symptoms.
Then i picked up the courage to bring it up with a doctor in in Spring 2020, and was fobbed off. Changed doctors and tried again. I asked to be referred to Psychiatry-UK, and was immediately treated with contempt. The doctor said they are not locally commissioned so no! I explained Right To Choose, sent them the pdfs showing how it works and how they dont need to be locally commissioned. The reply letter (which took weeks for them to send) was a snotty bunch of lies. I was accused of being aggressive which wasn't true. The one thing they didn't reply to or even acknowledge was all the info i sent them regarding RTC not needing to be locally commissioned. What use are rights and guidelines when the GPs can simply refuse to follow them. They wont believe that this is important.
Im beyond desperate now, i dont think i can keep a roof over my head for much longer if im not treated. I wake up every morning and this is the first thing i think about, im getting 2 or 3 hours sleep a night because of how worried i am, im overwhelmed. The GP is ruthless and doesnt care. I cant bare it much longer. Im seriously considering going on hunger strike and going public. To make matters worse i got a section 21 eviction notice a month ago, how the hell am i going to organise moving flat all on my own with no money and no concentration, and the constant feeling of frustration. I have no support network and the GP knows it. Theres a 3 month wait for advocates in my area.
Sorry im being intense, i just cant bare this.
