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

Today I had my follow up appointment with my psychologist, I left feeling worse, I loved the psychologist I spoke to last time he was very informed and understanding, this time I got an appointment with someone who he supervises and I feel like she didn't allow me to speak, she didn't allow me to explain my thoughts or feelings, she told me I have to take my medication or she won't be able to continue helping me, which I understand but im terrified of medication I can't get over it, she said if i start the prozac and it doesn't work then I'll have to get on antipsychotics which seems a bit extreme to me considering i have no psychotic symptoms matter of fact she didn't even allow me to explain my symptoms and i feel like there's so many other antidepressants that could work before getting on antipsychotics🙁 this didn't help me at all considering the episode of ocd i just got through was about me becoming psychotic, I just feel let down and misunderstood, I almost felt as if she was mad at me for the buspar not working she said "you didn't really try it you just took it for a week so if you stopped it it's like you gave up on yourself" but it kept me up 2 nights in a row and i couldnt function from the anxiety 😞

I am currently working with my second therapist. She does lots of somatic, emdr, humanistic therapy. We connected right off the bat and I was so happy to be able to be myself around her, VIRTUALLY anyways. It’s been about 4-5 months working with her, but the more we are meeting the more i still have doubts about her understanding where i am coming from or understand how my brain works, or being able to help me. And i feel myself closing off and just being superficial about everything, or just resisting my thoughts /feelings. Sometimes i feel like i can open up just fine, but it’s starting to feel unauthentic. Sometimes i wish she would be like my first therapist, and help prompt me to talk or find a way to dig deeper into my issues…sometimes i feel like she doesn’t say the right thing, or doesn’t point out things my first therapist would do and work that out….idk…and the whole humanistic energy work freaks me out. Im a practicing Catholic and when we do certain somatic/emdr/humanistic work i start to think: what if i get possessed or what if what i am doing here is wrong, or this feels like its too much for my brain to handle and i might end up freaking out badly, or what if i something bad happens….idk…any thoughts???

So having not even made headway yet with sessions with my latest therapist (not NOCD) she has just left me hanging saying I’ve got too anxious and I need to increase my Remeron before she continues with me and won’t even give me a date to start again……… I don’t really want to increase my meds as it was what she was saying to me in therapy that upset me, or is it really supposed to get worse before it gets better? My career that I worked so hard for is literally hanging by a thread and her doing this to me means I have to stay off work longer and I’m just really upset by her actions and the potential knock on effects of this 😢
