even if its true they just say “have you tried not lying to us” which famously helps every mental health problem

Also, unless you want to try out many different medications and search for something to possibly help you, I’d not recommend going to the doctor for your mental health. If you desire that choice, it’s not a bad one, but if you are just wanting better mental health, then changes in your life are something that is better to experiment with. You can get guidance/advice from a lot of different sources.

Because obviously being confrontational with your patient unlocks the solution deep within

i don’t think they’re wrong or malicious or anything, i just don’t think the advice theyve given is worth the money as far as helping me deal with things go
i also don’t like being treated like im psychotic
even if i am the way they treat me because of it is not good

Doctors aren’t trained to handle your mental or social issues, unless you are wanting to throw therapists into that group.

My advice for people that ponder something like this, go to therapy first. Talk with them, because they have a lot of experience with people who do and don’t have physical related issues causing mental disorders.
They would likely be able to help you understand if doctors are needed to intervene to help you.
she also just told me my hand pain would never be better which i know for a fact that if she gave me an adequate amount of care i could make at least some of a recovery. i still can barely use a mouse. however it also is more likely coincidental nerve pain so she’s probably right. still holy shit

giving me opioids was clearly the correct solution here (this barely helps for my hands because it is the WRONG TYPE OF PAIN)

I stopped taking meds for my disorder because a seizure disorder popped up out of nowhere in my 20s. They feared that it was a side effect from long term use, and they wanted me to not take them until further testing.
They never could find the source of it though, and still neurologists have no answer for where my seizure issue came from
the main roadblock to therapy for me is trusting adults

There have been talks about whether or not I should return to taking my medication. It might help me with depression and bi episodes, but over the last 6 years I’ve worked to get a hold of my issues without meds. So who knows, although being off meds did make me a worse person for a while wowee
feel like im gonna have a seizure

ONE LAST THING TO GET: my heart checked (also in waiting list) and then i can finally stop fuckcking going to the doctors
You’d imagine that a therapist would be the one who is trained to be the most understanding person on the planet. Being the opposite sounds like a paradox.

My advice is simple.
If you can’t trust other people, then you will never find what you are searching for. You have a desire it seems to find some form of help, or understanding. So you have to make the conscious choice to be more trusting of people other than yourself. Although you should always have critique and be wary of people.

From my experience, therapists have been a lot more understanding than the average person.
