Well, today is probably one of the last of my life. I have just returned from the doctors and they have basically chucked me out. She gave me two imitrex which will last me two days max, and a sick paper for 2 weeks, also she kept going on about migraine, to which, as I suffer from depression anyway, and believe me THIS IS THE WORST MOMENT OF MY LIFE, I started bashing my head against the table. Of course, unrational behaviour but it didnt get the message through. After throwing my empty cartridge at the desk I left, in tears. I cannot take the pain anymore and I have told her that I can do anything when I have to take the pain anymore.I asked for psychiatric help immediately, to which she refused and said that I will hear from somebody regarding the psychotherapy I have been waiting for for months. So I threw my documentation from this web site, to which she wasnt interested and even said that a few bits of paper is nothing, shes the doctor, I HAVE F****** migraine. Migraine, for 8 years! Every day, pain where I want to die! I am now at home, necking a bottle of whisky, packing my passport, credit cards because I have nowhere to go. Im sorry for venting but it JUST HELPS.I hope to speak again, but the NHS has LET ME DOWN SO MANY TIMES. If the only way to see a psychiatrist is when I attempt suicide then there is something wrong
