Signs of a bad psychiatrist
Have you been to a psychiatrist before and feel like they're not helping you at all? I've been going to see a psychiatrist for the last month and all it has done is drained my money. I'm literally struggling to get out of bed in the morning. I'm going through depression and intrusive thoughts at the same time and I don't know how to deal with it. I've gone through intrusive thoughts previously in 2013 but didn't have the Level of depression as I do now. My psychiatrist is like just keep yourself busy and create a schedule ( I'm Starting a new job Next week) , I literally want to keep busy but I'm so mentally drained and my mood keeps swinging it's hard to just keeping busy and maintaing a schedule when all I want to do is sleep. Then on top of that he's like what's worse the thoughts or depression. I'm like they're both really bad and he's like pick one, at the time the depression felt worse so I said that and he's like ohh you have to do Action then the motivation comes. But then last night the thoughts were worse. The thoughts don't feel as bad as 2013 but there still there and because I feel so down and out I have trouble dealing with the thoughts. But he's like ohh we can do this natural without assistance.... I'm like dude I'm going to run out of money if I can't keep a job down because of this junk going on in my head at the moment, I don't have to go back to 100% but when I literally can't function I need help ( I've been like this for 4 months)
