Venting My psychiatrist told me to kill myself...

[Onthe29th]

wow… I'm not a psychiatrist but even I know not to say this to a person. That was really unprofessional of them and I'm sorry that happened to you. I hope he was just having a bad day but even then, it's pretty inexcusable.

I wonder if any insurance company has denied payment based on a complaint?

You should have reported his ass.

I was going to say that. The person should have lost their psychiatrist's license.

Tell him to FUCK himself!

I always lied to my psychiatrist. I dont want to go into the psy ward ever. What u are 13. U shouldnt be here even if u are 18.

This was back in late middle school. I first attempted via caffeine and over-hydration, and later by sodium-fluoride poisoning by eating two tubes of Crest toothpaste. This was over the span of two days. Terrible methods, I'm aware. I was a desperate 13 year old. My parents didn't care at the time, but they reluctantly took me to my psychiatrist after my school forced them to.

I liked my psychiatrist at the time. I was very naive and friendly back then, although obviously I had some glaring issues. I got there, we sat down, and he asked to talk to me without my dad in the room. He said to me "Hecked, you aren't suicidal. If you were suicidal, you would just do it. You're doing this to get out of school. You know how absurd "over-hydration" is? You weren't likely to die. You were likely to just vomit a lot. So, yeah. Keep trying. You don't want to kill yourself. You want attention. You'll never kill yourself because you don't want to die. Go ahead. Keep trying. Kill yourself. At least you won't be wasting my time. I still get the money every time you do this, but it's getting tiring. So do it."

Wasn't the same since.

I'm so sorry to hear that. It's kinda hard what you went through. But just remember everyone doesn't have the same compassion to help others. They just pretend or ignore you.

God I would want to meet him. He sounds like a hero to me.
