There are good psychiatrists out there, thankfully I have one. I'm sorry that happened, sound like maybe she got kickbacks from the company that makes that medication. I don't believe a psychiatrist should discount a patient like that, even if the results are abnormal from what they normally see. Everybody is different and reacts differently to mess. I know it's disheartening, I've gone through it with therapists before, but try to look at it as a bullet dodged. Somebody like that doesn't have your best interests at heart, but there are mental health professionals out there that do. I hope your next one is one of them.

So sorry that happened after you opened up. That psychiatrist clearly was not the best if she or he decided to say you were not a good fit. I’ve never had a bad experience with mine in the past so I can tell you that there are much better ones out there and that you should maybe look for ones that have awesome reviews by where you live, that way you know you’re getting a good person.

I stand with you, I had bad experience with the whole psychology health system, so after many attempts I sort of figured things on my own, I stand with you… It took time to find a good medication but I chose not to go to follow up sessions with the psychiatrist because this makes me feel bad. I also have harm ocd..

@Loranqadri I feel like that’s where I’m at sorting things out on my own. I tried many supplements on my own and prescribed. Just haven’t found exactly what fits. Thank you for understanding and replying. I stand with you too

are the therapists here actually reliable???
I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?

Help
Told my close friend about how I think I have harm ocd and showed a video describing her experience with it so I wouldn’t have to share mine. Told him how when I see the number 22 I get paranoid that I’ll harm someone, and he gave me advice to go to a psychiatrist then left me on read after we were having a conversation prior. I’m so scared to open up to people about it and now I don’t think I will again.

therapist appointment
I got a therapist appointment in about a week and I'm scared I will get misunderstood, or I feel like Im not telling enough details, I'm scared that I have something else. This week alone was so draining
