Not sure what I am, I argue with my thoughts a lot

I typed a letter for my GP, which was a condensed version of my posts in this thread.

I started by saying

"Dear Dr xxxx, In January, I finally managed to have enough courage to post onto a depression forum about how my depression really effects me, reading it back through was kind of a big relief as I had at last confronted it.

Some of the advice was:

It may be helpful to be referred to a pain specialist

With regards to my depression, there were various suggestions for me having various psychiatric things, but giving my GP a printout of what I wrote was the one I was told I needed to do

I dropped it in to reception at about 1pm, and asked if it could be added to my notes.

By 3pm, the surgery had phoned me up and said my doctor wants to see me next week and I have an appointment on Thursday 1st March

That’s fantastic! Well done.
