Bad appointment with Dr. Need advice.

[Siennasun]

I started a new job at the start of the year and knew straight away it was a mistake. I hate the job for lots of reasons and have felt increasingly stressed and unhappy.
Over the same time period I've also had some bouts of sickness - I feel terrible and can't stop being sick for several hours (usually over night) sometimes for a bit longer.
I went to the Dr to ask about the sickness and he wasn't very sympathetic and basically said there's no cause it's just one if those things.
Then I asked if it could be linked to stress because it's coincided with starting new job and having to take time of work sick is adding to my anxiety.
Then he asked all about my mood - I've been having some problems eating and sleeping. I got upset and cried.
He said "just ask for what you want" and started writing out a prescription for anti depressants and a referral for CBT. I don't want any of that and refused both. He also gave me a prescription for something to help with nausea/vomiting and wants me to go back and see him in 2 weeks.
So to be fair to dr he did offer lots of help but he didn't listen to anything I said and I feel worse now than I did before I went to see him. I'm not depressed, just hate my job.
He's written in my notes that I'm depressed and have refused anti-depressants and CBT. Is this info shared with anyone, eg Health visitors? I'm thinking about ttc again this year. If I get pregnant will I have to go for any extra assessments because of this?
Also I really don't want to go back and see him again. Will they follow up if I don't make another appointment?

Anyone

No, a 'simple' diagnosis of mild depression will not make any difference if you get pregnant. It would maybe a case of offering extra support if someone had a serious and enduring mental illness, but that's not what you've described. I very much doubt they will follow things up. The system is terribly underfunded and those people who are suicidao and begging for help are often ignored due to lack of resources. If you think you're not depressed, I would suggest trying a different GP and push for an investigation of your vomiting.

Thanks for your reassuring reply, Dontrun. I've been getting even more stressed worrying about my medical records - maybe I've over reacted.
TBH don't think I could face going back to see any GP again after this morning.

I think your doctor sounds shit to be honest. I would try to see another doctor, one who is willing to listen and try to help rather than just write a script and pass you off.

anxiety is often treated with anti depressants so whilst the dr sounds like a total twat offering medication doesn't sound too out there.

can you leave your job?

What were you hoping for from the appointment?

I didn't know that Theoriginal. The Dr didn't say anything about why he was prescribing them.
I thought that he was a bit shit too, unless he was trying to put me off ever going back, in which case he did a good job. But tbf to him I was probably a bit of a mess due to horrible week and no sleep.
I'm not sure exactly what I was hoping for. I made the appointment because of the vomiting/nausea problem, so I guess I was hoping he'd say that it was normal if you're a bit stressed and nothing to worry about.

Honestly ?
A doctor will suggest anti depressants or counselling ( cbt ) for anxiety

You could consult a careers advisor?

Do you have a good HR department?

Is there a specific problem at work ?

The nausea could be due to anxiety. I can promise you this would not lead to questions about your parenting ability in any way.

if you are ttc though medication is not the best idea as it isn't ideal in pregnancy.

i have just finished a course of cbt and it gave me strategies to deal with anxiety. it was very useful. It won't change your crap job but it will help you look at how you can change things or change how they affect you.

Thanks for all your replies.
I think the nausea probably is due to anxiety, but Dr dismissed that. He may have had a good rationale for offering anti-depressants, but he didn't explain it and I felt like he just wanted to get rid as quickly as he could. I would have refused them anyway for various reasons.
I didn't go to talk about my anxiety, stress, etc. I went about the vomiting but he dismissed that as being too vague a problem to try to identify a cause. he may well be right and I'm not going to go back about it.

I've applied for another job but what I do is quite specialist so not lots of opportunities to change jobs. If I dont find another job I will either leave for mat leave or just quit and have some time out while I wait to find something else.
