"Awful experience ..."

After using all my courage to seek help after years battling with depression. Gp referral was made as I had hit an all time low.

So after 1hour 20mins sat pouring my heart out and left feeling vulnerable for bearing my soul I was told I would definately need to be put forward for some form of counselling as years of previous abuse and emotional torment had left some emotional scars that I was struggling to deal with.

After being told I would be called the following week...this never happened so I chased them up. I then received a letter of my review...some information was twisted and some purely not true as had been taken down wrong. The rest I feel made me feel I was over reacting or had classes me as a big drinker, I had admitted drinking worsened my symptoms but certainly not dependant on drinking ..

I feel like the whole experience has added to my anxiety and depression and I certainly wouldn't want to let my guard down again to be left feeling belittled and ashamed that I have sought help from what i thought were kind caring professional people.
