Hi @angela1272, how about your local Citizens Advice? You could arrange a face to face appointment at your local branch, which you can find by searching on their website.

Try your local CAB or similar.

@angela1272,
im sorry to hear your going through a really bad time, I think changing doctor would be an idea. My old one was the same but moved surgery and new doctor is great.
