"Unable to obtain treatment"

I've had multiple health issues as listed below and have been unable to obtain any treatment for them from the medical practice.

1.  I told a GP that I had insomnia which exacerbated and triggered anxiety and depression.  They said to take St. John's Wort and referred me to a men's talk group.  Both were useless and made me feel as though the GP didn't take me seriously and just wanted to get rid of me and end the appointment as quickly as possible.  I attended one session of the men's talk group, and experienced homophobia.  It made me feel like I couldn't or shouldn't trust my GP again and wondered if they really listened to me or heard me.  My mental health has worsened considerably in the past year causing me to leave employment.  I would like to work, but I don't feel I can depend upon my GP or the NHS to help me get fit again.  Instead, I find it difficult to stop thinking about the ending of my life.  I'm receiving absolutely no treatment for either insomnia, anxiety or depression and have been left to deal with these issues on my own.  As a result, I've resorted to self-medication to aid with my sleep and stabilise my mood.

2.  I've had piles for at least ten years.  They now bleed about once or twice a month during every bowel movement for four to ten days.  I can lose a great deal of blood and sometimes feel dizzy and lightheaded after a bowel movement.  I was told a year ago that my iron levels were low and was given a medication to boost my iron levels.  I finished the medication and never heard about it again. I thought doctors were supposed to follow-up, prepare treatment plans and ensure that one obtains healing.  My GP doesn't do that and it makes me feel as though my health isn't important.  It depresses me.

3.  The piles have become so uncomfortable and seem to be getting progressively worse so I had the GP look at them about six months ago.  It was confirmed they were outside and inside my anus and said they could schedule a colonoscopy for me and have them removed at the same time.  I was offered surgery in Glasgow, but I have nobody to take me there so I had to refuse that appointment.  I've heard nothing since.  Again, absolutely no follow-up and the sense that nobody at the surgery gives a damn about my health.

4.  A year ago I was told my PSA levels were high and that my prostrate was enlarged.  I had recently noticed a greater urgency to urinate and with greater frequency.  After an MRI, I received a letter stating that the density of my prostate was fine.  I was given a prescription.  I tried it for a month and it did nothing for me.  I told the GP.  The prescription was discontinued and I've heard nothing else.  It was recently reported that King Charles had surgery for an enlarged prostate - I didn't know one could have surgery and thought I just had to suffer with it. Let down again.  And again, I feel like I'm worthless and that nobody truly cares about my health.  I don't even attempt to make appointments anymore.  It's too difficult to get them on the phone and, when you do, their attitude is unpleasant or you get cut off and have to call back and wait in queue for anywhere from another 15-25 minutes.  And when I do get an appointment, as you can see from this feedback, I rarely get what I need or my health issue resolved - a complete waste of time.  There has also never been an explanation as to why my PSA levels were high.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that the difficulties that I've had receiving treatment for my health issues is likely to cause me to become broke and lose my flat.  I'm unable to work, unable to apply for adult disability and have no income other than UC payments which are too small to meet standard living costs.  My life expectancy is diminishing in Kilmarnock and maybe that's a blessing.  That's how I feel.
