Thank you I know my doctors are getting frustrated as my self esteem is pretty low and I'm good at hiding away until things get bad then I'll ask for help... As for the comments about self harm, drug use, alcoholism and that - don't these conditions often all present themselves together? I've got anxiety and I've self harmed too ... I think the best thing to do is when you see your doctor tell them your worries and let them deal with it - and if you still have problems getting them to listen, maybe seek a second opinion but I'd never walk in and "demand" things; I don't think my GP would be too thrilled

I'm away to ring mine in a moment because I've been throwing up all night and away to get a blood test tommorow so not sure if I am still meant to go
