Disappointed GP didn’t ask how I was.

[Rainallnight]

I am being silly and can’t admit this to anyone in real life so just getting off my chest here.

My mental health has been rocky for a while. Two big bereavements, plus lockdown (like everyone!), then DD’s MH nosedived and she became violent towards me.

GP was lovely and supportive throughout, was v helpful about DD, asked me to keep in touch to let her know how I was.

Had to contact them today about a very ordinary issue to do with DS. We spoke on the phone, she gave her diagnosis and that was the end of the call.

I guess I’m disappointed she didn’t ask how I was doing or how DD was.

I KNOW I’m being silly because GPs are so busy. I just felt a bit stung and realise I’d come to sort of count on her support.

Just needed to get this all down.

She probably didn't want to bring anything up for you, she might have thought you wouldn't welcome it if she asked how you are, she's got to put your privacy first and probably didn't want to be intrusive.

I think sweet has it. But then, our last GP was so shit I was sat across from him telling him point blank I was trying to figure out how to get hold of pentobarbital and he did FA. She sounds like a good GP so I'd let this one slide.
