Don't panic about going to the psychiatrist. Everything between him and you is confidentiel he's not here to judge you but to listen and bring kinda relievement. He'll give you advises and mat change or add you more meds if nothing gets better. Again, don't feel ashamed about asking for help.
it's just... you know how people treat who goes to the psychiatrist. a friend of my mom's takes meds to calm her anxiety and my dad calls her 'the psychopath'.
that's why i'm also a little afraid. and i usually have trouble trusting people; this is a stranger asking me to talk about everything i don't want to talk about because i cannot put it in words. i know it's his / her job but i'm afraid the person i'll go to knows me or something like that... my mom wants to go to the psychiatrist in our town but i'm not sure ??? i'd probably prefer going to another one, maybe farther away.
ugh i know i shouldn't be like this because they can't break confidentiality or whatever but i just don't like the whole idea of someone knowing everything there is to know about me or maybe more.
Most of people in my family who always cricticized the fact to see a psychologist are actually fronting something very hard to handle with nowadays and went to a psychologist themselves. At the end they realized how wrong they were because they needed help. It's just like soldiers in Middle Age who wanted to die in a battlefield, if they were struggling with death don't you think that they would need help ? So somehow, we all need help and we have to be smart enough to accept it. Being alone is no solution.
What I know about it it's just talking a to a complete stranger is a lot more easier than talking to someone you actually know. Indeed, you don't feel the pressure of being judged or rejected for what you really are, that's his work so no pressure, be yourself, be true and say the truth so than you'll be helped. Trust the psychologist, that's his job again and he won't break your confidentiality. Relax and remember, I'm always open to talk about it with you dear :)
