Ive had a bit of a disagreement with my GP over my health declaration forms.
What's happened is - I handed the forms in at the surgery for my GP to sign off and return back to me. I attached a letter on the front because I was about to move house, so it had my new address & phone number on. About 3 weeks after Id handed the forms in I got a phone call asking me to go see the GP because I hadn't seen her for s few months and she just wanted a chat.
When I got there, she had a bit of a go because apparently she'd been trying to contact me for so long she eventually gave up and filled all the forms in based on my last check up in october.
The problem with that is, the time that Id seen her in October I had gone in with severe post natal depression and probably borderline post traumatic stress disorder relating to my daughters traumatic birth. I was not in a good place and I have since been to see some specialists at the hospital who have medicated me and got me back to my normal self again, Im still on antidepressants but Im doing really well and I have a note from my psych nurse saying that she has no concerns for the welfare of my children.
My GP has written on my form that I am suffering with severe post natal depression and that I have regular violent and distressing thoughts towards my children. First of all, it's totally untrue, I WAS suffering with severe postnatal depression, but I am not anymore. Secondly, I am not and have NEVER had ANY kind of violent thought towards my kids. What she is probably referring to is that I have had flashbacks to my daughters birth where she was born very quickly at home with her cord twice round her neck not breathing and had to be resuscitated in front of me.
I just feel like Ive had everything ripped out of me, I cant believe shes written that stuff it makes me sound like a monster, I wouldnt register me to look after children if Id read that.
As soon as I got back from my appointment I called Ofsted and explained as I thought it was better to be honest and upfront with them about everything, and the man I spoke to was lovely and put my mind at ease a little but I just can't help but worry :(
Just wondering if anyone else has ever had any problems with their health declaration before and what was done about it?
