People pleasing?

[LtBenson]

Why do I do this?
I had a review with my GP about Venlafaxine. It was working for a while, but my mood has taken a real dip over the last month. I am crying, thinking about harming myself and really struggling day to day. So i tell her all that but then qualify it with but I'm sure it'll be fine once I remember the CBT and get back to the office etc etc.
I think I didn't want to disappoint her? and I always want to do the right thing and have everyone pleased with me, even though it doesn't help me.
Why?! Now I'm so annoyed with myself.

Sorry no one got back to you before. People pleasing is a thing we do I think because they grew up in a house where people were often angry and it helped keep the peace. And I also think it's hard at the gp as appointments are short so to open up honestly isn't easy.
