Well I have basically been seeing therapists and psychiatrists since I was 17 years old... I'm now 32 almost 33. That's a big chunk of my life and I still feel like I've been spinning my wheels. Needless to say I have taken the last few years off of therapy. meds, everything and well things aren't looking good. I have set myself an apointment to see my family doctor in a few days to discuss things. I really feel I need to find a therapist or someone who can help me. I don't think my family doc can be of much assistance other than as a stepping stone in the right direction so I will pretty much let him know that. I pretty much have a running list of diagnosis I have had from past doctors so at least I can tell them basically what to expect from me. I am seriously nervous about it all though. I really really want help.. I don't want to feel this way anymore. I just can't take this anymore so things have really got to get better. My family is in turmoil due to my neurosis. Hell my entire family is neurotic so I guess we come by it naturally but that doesn't make it any easier. I sure hope my kids don't wind up as screwed up as I am!
Hi Zeph, i am really close to your situation right now.. i am sooo nervous about finding help but i know that i must, and like you i cant stand to feel the way that i do anymore..just last monday i decided that i was going to visit a doctor and get help but when i got there i chickened out and told lies about why i was there but now i truely wish i had of gone through with it.. since you have already had experience with all this i hope that it will be easier for you, and i hope that you find the help that you need! good luck...just go in there and spill it all about how you feel! goodluck
ive had that problem to i want help but im afraid of going to a mental hospital ive been there before and its just really scary for me. Ive taken meds since i was fourteen im now 19 and my last therapist told me ill probably be on meds for the rest of my life cause of my psychosis and guess what i think im relapsing cause my voices are going crazy. But i have to much pride to say out right that im suicidal. It just makes me feel like they'll judge me and i don't want to be treated like a freak cause im mentally ill. I'm use to being treated bad by cops and mental health professionals. My dad held me up against a wall because i wanted to take a walk in the morning. The ambulance came and i told them what happened and they said i didn't need to take a walk early in the morning anyway
Nervous about finding help
