Possible rant but just came back from a new GP and just feel frustrated about the entire situation. We moved out of our home state, and I had to find a new GP. I was on celexa before, stopped and before we moved refilled my prescription and seven weeks ago decided to start it again because my anxiety was getting really bad again. I had three months supply, so knew I had time to set up a new GP and get the prescription refilled here. 

I go in today. I’m not sure if she just rarely deals with anxiety or what, but she wouldn’t write the prescription. She wants me to see a psychiatrist to have her review my meds and make sure I’m on the right ones, change them, give me other stuff on top of it, etc. she had me take the standard depression test they always do and score it. I’m not depressed but always score high (due to my lack of sleep, difficulty concentrating and being fidgety). Because I answered most days on those questions, she asked me how I even take care of my kids at this point. She had no medical history to warrant it and I had no complaint to warrant it but after listening to my heart asks if I’ve ever had an ekg done and proceeds to order one and have me do it there. Gives no explanation why.... and someone who has health anxiety as it is, this just now has me wondering why she would order it to begin with.... she never asked my symptoms or anything, just heard anxiety and that was it. 

Maybe I’m ranting because I’ve dealt with doctors like this in the past. They made me feel like my anxiety was my fault and something was wrong with me. Like I made this choice to have severe anxiety. Some of the comments she made made me feel that way. My last GP was amazing about my anxiety and never made me feel bad about it. Ugh. 

Ok that’s all.
