Why Dont Medics Listen

[nailit]

For the past few weeks ive been experiencing a lot of stress and anxiety with the result that Ive been drinking every night to cope. Ive been in this position before so recognise the symptoms and where its leading. As many on here know, 3 yrs ago I ended up getting sectioned after a similar (prolonged) bout of the same.
Just been the doctors and asked for a weeks worth of sedative to replace the drink and get back on track again before I end up like I did 3 yrs ago. He refused saying that I was already on mirtazapine. When I was in a psychiatric unit I was given both Mirtazapine AND valium so I cant see the problem. Just left the doctors no better off.
Feel like history repeating itself when no one would listen then.
Don't know what to do

Contact AA or the many other help groups available . but if you are not alcohol dependent then contact mental health emergency teams, check for telephone no. in your area.
