Anyone else feel fobbed off at the GP?

[Rockclimber12]

I wondered if anyone else had had a right faff with the gp.
Had constant brain fog and feeling tired, off food, not feeling positive, and struggling with making decisions (what to do for dinner, and then bursting into tears). Things getting a bit easier at home with baby sleeping through most nights. But I'm still exhausted - and not driving anywhere in case I nodded off.
At the gp this morning, and hoping to see if blood tests or thyroid might be explored. She asked about the DCs and how I'm coping with them - and they are doing really well.
She said that it could be depression or something else but she has to focus on patients who have longer term depression, families in need, or have social services involved, or those feeling suicidal.
So I've left with referral for a smear test (overdue) and nothing else.

I'm feeling like I've just wasted her time, but still feel like rubbish. Not looking for sympathy but wondered if anyone has had a similar experience.

Lots of good advice here and really appreciate everyone taking time to share own experiences as well.
Booked an appointment with another of the gps and taking the husband with me this time. I may not get anywhere but I'm less likely to feel pushed out if they explain why they are not taking it any further. Thinking back to my appointment, she didn't even look at me or check blood pressure, spent most of the appointment typing on her keyboard. They are busy though.....

I am glad you are going back and seeing someone else.
The worst part of your post was that she said she has to focus on other patients. What??? Every patient is important and that is unprofessional beyond belief. I work in the nhs and the only important patient is the one I'm seeing at that time.
I hope you get some answers.

I had terrible joint pain and was fobbed off similarly. Fast forward several years and went to the doctor here in Spain. .....clear case of rheumatoid arthritis. Go back. The NHS is in a state and GPs are missing a lot due to being ludicrously overstretched.

That is shite. You really need to see another GP.
