Talking to my psychiatrist makes me want to go to CTB

[Dark Spring]

My psychiatrist says that I need to stop being a depressive person and that increasing my medication will help, but I don't really feel that he cares about me. He never asked me if I wanted to end my life, and whenever I start to tell him how I feel he says to talk to the psychologist about it, not to him. I feel like nobody really cares how I am. Not to mention that he made me wait three months to see me

If I think about my time in therapy I want to kill myself immediately. Sorry I know that doesn't help you. I never had an outlet like this one sadly

It sucks. I had to wait many weeks too to see my therapist but I knew it wouldn't help. Words don't work for me. If someone tells me "Stop being depressive" I wouldn't start to be happy again and love life. They don't undestand. I find that very unprofessional. It makes me want to ctb too because I spent money and wasted my time in something that I knew it wasn't going to work. Pointless.

Therapy helps in the sense that I get to complain and feel heard, but it doesn't change reality.

Psychiatrists give pills. They aren't therapists.

I feel like it's pointless if they don't actually understand the problems experienced ..
I went to counciling after a miscarriage. It was suppose to be counciling for becoming a mum and processing everything n preparing for that as I was going to be a single parent. After the baby died I went obviously for the grief..
But the woman could not relate.
I only went twice after that

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if your own professional is making you want to ctb, drop them! Find someone else in between, but please do not ctb because someone is acting like a jerk. Dile de ir a joderse :)

Thank you for your words, I really want to change my psychiatrist, I'm not convinced that he can help me. However, my psychologist makes me feel more comfortable but I never mentioned to her that I have been thinking for years that CTB is a possibility for me and I haven't done it for my family and my boyfriend, I don't want them to feel responsible for a decision of mine

Is your psychiatrist connected to your psychologist? Can you change the psychiatrist without needing to change the psychologist? I'm glad that you feel comfortable with your psychologist!

I think so, today I have an appointment with my psychologist and I thought I would tell her that I don't feel comfortable with my psychiatrist.

I very much relate to your post and hope the psychologist is/was able to help.

Very much relate. I'm in a similair situation right now re:why bother because it's a waste with psychiatrists.

That's a horrible thing to say. They are incompetant in their profession. I hope you were/able able to find a new one.

It sounds like you have a bad psychiatrist :(

It took me more than a few different tries to find one who I actually liked and who cared about me and wanted to try more than just medication

 

[Rn110bg101]

It took me a lot of tries to find one that would listen to me as well, so if you want to go to therapy, find someone you're comfortable with.
I personally gave up on therapy but if you want to go then you should.
