I probably sound ridiculous, don't I?! Struggling this much and still not getting help for myself. It's just the thought if everyone finding things out.

If for example you are having bad dreams, the GP doesn’t need to know the content of the dreams, just than you are having them. The same for intrusive thoughts. The details aren’t needed to say these thoughts are present. You don’t have to say what is making you feel low just that your mood is low. Of course where therapy is involved you would need to go into more detail in order to get the right kind of understanding and support. Anything you say to your GP or therapist is in confidence so you don’t need to worry about anyone knowing unless you choose to tell them.

Just explain your symptoms the best you can and take it from there.

I actually feel sick right now but I've done it via the GP surgery website...have only just noticed I can do it like that. I've answered the questionnaire from the PHQ 9 with the scoring moderate/severe depression and have also added how I feel I have PTSD too...I have done the dsm5 too had result of high/severe impact PTSD. Part of me is so proud of myself but part of me is also like "wtf have I just done" I'm going to get a call in the next 48 hours but it feels easier now I know I've already given them the info of how I feel etc
Well done hunni, I’m proud of you too
Love, I’ve noticed you’ve started a number of threads on similar subjects. So that other members can more easily see the full story, I’m going to merge the relevant threads into one thread
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Well done lovely! That's really good!

Distractions are good. I like reading books specially on metaphysics
