Binners - calm down
TJ said The only answer is to either remove the thing that stresses you or to learn ways of coping
The point is a 5 min GP appointment will do nothing.
If you cannot remove the stressors then you need to learn coping mechanisms - your GP is not able to do this in a 5 min appointment. They do not have superhuman powers and this is not the sort of thing they are good at anyway.
There are psychological techniques for learning to cope with stress but this takes far more than a 5 min GP appointment and takes specialist skills that a GP will not have
Edit - I have suffered really badly from stress myslef in teh past.
