Right so I've just come back from my appointment. After ages of trying to pluck up the courage to say clearly and straight I think i'm suffering from depression and not indirectly talk about the issue (i did this last time and the doctor basically dismissed me(I think she thought it was teen angst or something)) I just came out with it. I spent nearly an hour talking to my gp. She was just really supportive. It was nice to talk to a real person honestly and just say what came into my head. I mean I do go to a counsellor but I have to hold back, I can't say everything because she's a college counsellor and if i told her I SH then she'd have to tell the deputy head and then the head teacher etc. But talking to the GP this time was good. I told samaritans about my appointment yesterday and they phoned back to see how it went, i felt loved lol, even if i did ask them to call back.
