If it's not depression then what is it?
just over 4 years ago I had a double heart bypass and just 10 months after i had to go back to have the sternal wires removed as i was experiencing a lot of pain and had limited movement in my neck.
Since that time I have had so many other ailments its been impossible for me to return to work, I am not a skiver and have always been a very active and outdoor person until I had the CABG.
Since that time i have been diagnosed as having sleep aponea, arthritis in both knees, high blood pressure, arythmia's and now to top it all I have meralgia paraesthetica which is normally caused by a trapped nerve or pressure on that nerve in the lumbar region, I had a spinal fusion of L4 & L5 some 30 odd years ago so think its quite possible its adhesions.
Now surprisingly enough I dont feel depressed but i do keep getting these horrible doubts that my G.P. is missing something quite serious I dont know what although I sometimes feel that my life is very close to the end and because of all the problems i've had I cannot help thinking it will either be a fatal heart attack or a stroke.
I wish i could stop these horrid morbid thoughts but they are with me most days.
Answers not necessarily required but thanks for listening.

My heartfelt condolences, sincerely. I can honestly say I KNOW what you are going through. My mother passed away on May 24, 2004, then while still grieving for her, my niece and two nephews were killed in a tragic car accident on June 26, 2004. I know that I still feel very sad at times, five years and I still have moments where I cry, we will always remember the ones that leave us, our tears are for ourselves, we feel abandoned, and at times alone. You can only keep moving, keep breathing, eventually, some days will seem like you are your old self. Good luck, and again my condolences.

It's probably worth seeing a different GP if you think yours is missing something. Pucker up, though, just seek the best medical advice you can.
