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

I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.

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 had a very bad session with a therapist today (NOT FROM NOCD). She basically told me I can’t be helped without medication, said I am too needy and if I keep being needy, people will continue to leave me, and my past trauma from relationships is my fault. I then had a second session with my old therapist who helped process and explain that OCD is lifelong and some people manage it but others have flare ups and I think I’m having a bad flare up (a month long basically) and that I may need medication which I’m terrified to go back on. Does it get better? Will I need meds? I’m scared. I don’t want to get worse and I don’t want these thoughts to scare me.
