I'm not surprised you're angry, and your comments about the many, many people whose problems could be avoided with better lifestyle are quite right. I wonder if (and this is no excuse at all) he'd seen a few self harmers that day and was feeling frustrated, perhaps about feeling helpless (though that's being optimistic).
And you're doing really well at keeping yourself safe for a long time, and also by making sure you get treatment when you need it, which is really responsible of you.
Unfortunately there are some rubbish GPs out there, I think it might be worth changing GPs as there are many brilliant ones too.
P.S. Did he even provide the referral to a dietitian? Which I think is a great idea, by the way.
