Should I go to the doctor?

[RedRobyn24]

How do I know if it’s bad enough to go to the doctor?

Will they actually be able to help me?

I feel like nobody can and I just keep going

I just don’t know how to help myself. I keep going and going. If I take a pill will it stop me from feeling like this?

I just worry that my problems aren’t going to be solved and I’ll still be struggling but also on medication which I don’t particularly want

GPs can be helpful, but it’s worth looking at if there are any other local mental health support services. They often have more time for each interaction, whereas GP appointments are very short which can feel tough.

Sometimes a combination of support can help - talking therapy like CBT and meds. IME it's better to get help sooner rather than later.
