Flat in mood

[Maisie1]

Feel ill but because I have health anxiety docs don't treat it seriously. Really getting me down. Losing weight and struggling to sleep. New member. Seeing GP tomorrow

Maisie, really sorry to hear that the docs are being so difficult - it's really difficult with appointment systems the way they are - just don't get to give the time ...

Do you write a list of points before you go ... would be good to mention how much weight you have lost over what period and if there are specific symptoms and if they vary over time - have you kept a diary.

Do you have a friend that can go with you and back you up that there is something genuinely going on.

Even if tomorrow doesn't work out - try the diary thing and go back with something concrete.

Also - are you aware that there is an anxiety forum that you could join - in fact there are several but they seem to have numbers of people with Health Anxiety problems.

I will jot down some notes. Thanks
