Ah - I get confused sometimes. In the past you've posted apparently from
a number of locations, so I've not been able to work out your living
arrangements,
They have varied, along with Sarah's view of the extant possibilities.

He's in his mid-60s (your mother was probably
still a schoolgirl when he qualified, unless your parents are a lot
older) 65 to be precise, and his degree was conferred the same week
that the Beatles reached Number 1 with "Help!" (rather appropriate for
this group really and also somewhat ironic as he doesn't want to help
me in the slightest; all he wants to do is make my life a living
hell).
Not all older doctors are bad, but you seem to have been unlucky.
The only really good doctor I ever knew was a crumbly old fart even in
the 1980s. His partner in the practise was also a crumbly old fart but
was a bit crap. One pill-pusher, one holistic magician. One African
king, one Polish dissident. No, really - except I was told that the
king had decided that what with Africa mostly not bothering with kings
any more, he'd be better off as an English GP.

A lot of people get worse at this time of
year, and staying with people you have a strained relationship with
is very difficult when you're in a relatively good state of mind, let
alone when you're having trouble.
I'm not "staying with them" I *LIVE* with them 24/7.
Eek. I get on pretty well with my parents, but I wouldn't want to live
with them.
Sarah's not with them 24/7 - one or other and sometimes both of her
parents are `off somewhere' (and that might be Portugal). And Sarah
sometimes goes off places on her own.

Thanks, darling. ((((((Rosemary))))) Sorry if it seemed like I was
having a go at you, I'm not, it's just that there isn't anyone who can
help.
No, I don't think you were having a go at me. It's just incredibly
frustrating being in your situation - people trying to help when there's
nothing they can actually do. As far as I can make out, some people (like
the MH lot) don't seem to take you very seriously when you tell them how
hellish things are.
That's normal, though, isn't it? Whatever the patient says must be
disregarded for a valid diagnosis - well, that seems to be the line that
they take. Or if not disregarded, they take the trouble to fabricate
`evidence' to permit them to do exactly the opposite of what the patient
has asked for by way of punishment for being uppity.

<shrug> But that's mental health professionals for you - a bunch of
sadistic abusers.
