I recently went to a new GP just cause I was in desperate need for an appointment on that day. The entire thing was a nightmare, I had to wait 20 mins for her and when I got into the room she began to lecture me about being late, and I just got flashbacks of being a kid and my (possibly untreated bipolar) dad lashed at out me for nothing. I told her about my disorders (anxiety, bipolar 1) after she finished her scolding and she said having anxiety and ‘such things’ doesn’t give me a reason to be late and unprepared (which is something completely unacceptable to say about any disorders). This really shocked me and I was just so confused. I felt an influx of emotions but I was just SO ANGRY. I wanted to cry. Why was I being scolded by a health professional for something absolutely unrelated and untrue?? During her rant, she didn’t even let me get a word in. I didn’t really end up speaking to her about any of my problems as I was trying too hard not to cry and lash out, so I just paid the $70 and left. Once I got home, I wanted to just report her to the clinic’s management and make sure she was penalised for the way she treated me. But after awhile i started to feel like I was just overreacting. But at the time I truly felt like it just sent me into a spiral I can’t justify.
