Expect feel. Its worth it but it's shitty and painful along the way

Be honest, it'll make it all so much easier. You want help? Then be open.

ALready got a lot of feels. Feels that makes me want to kill myself. Can it be more painful?

I would like to know if I reveal myself fully and will be totally honest will I end up closed in mental hospital? I do not want that. That is what was stopping me for some time.

What questions should I expect? Should I write down a few things I want to say?

You are gonna feel relieve and really shitty knowing all the shit you think about self, but puts you in the right track to start healing, most of the times psychiatrist patients fail it's because they wasn't open with everything since the beginning

Psychiatrists are just legal drug dealers.

Psychiatrist are the equivalent of public mediums. You go there to sample them, not for them to sample you. Don't talk to the police.

What do you mean? like telling you like CP and that kind of stuff? just chill , it's pretty normal actually, once you understand the laws of the society and don't break any rule, the problem comes when people can't controll their desires and actions

what's wrong OP?

You're a pussy and a coward, I honestly feel like spitting in your face and slapping you, self discipline confessing to somebody else isn't going to change you but reveal your inner self to somebody else, that's you deal with it pussy, confessing your mental state is like crying in front of somebody you'll regret it right after.

Thanks for an advice, I too think sticking to the truth is best option if I want to start to live again.

I want to live again, not be on drugs. I do not do drugs.

What do you mean?

No, nothing like CP. But I guess that for a normal person my thoughts are at least weird/strange/dangerous etc.

I do not want to live. I am human trash and I blame parents for making me. I do not fit in this world. I have no skills to get a good job. I am worthless. Working job now that I am going backwards with my mind. I will never be someone I would like to be. I do not like people here. I hate myself. I wasted my life and it can't be undone. And much, much more...

Short version.

Kinda this. Thing is. You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket type of deal. Run your situation by different doctors as possible and readup and study different perspectives, whether accepted or laughed it, trust nothing but your own tests because the doc already knows.

i hate getting almost black out drunk and crying in front of some one. so embarrassing the next day.

Don't let them prescribe you anything. Get a second opinion. Let your regular physician know whats going on. Depression isn't just feeling sad, it could be a symptom. Often it's linked to physiological changes in the brain like some diseases. Go in with the mentality of wanting to get to the bottom of this. Unless your life is shit and you just want to talk to someone about it, then speak from the heart. Don't wear a persona. Don't try to seem dark and twisty. Be you. Let them help you.

You might actually need a little hospital time. I did a couple weeks in the loony bin a while. Did me some good as they got me on some proper meds. Worst thing about it: hospital food and the boredom. It's really not too bad.

As for what to expect: lots of questions, some embarrassment and shame... Just be honest, the person is there to help, not hurt.

I just read your reason, you know what you are? you're a piece of shit and a lazy cuck, a coward that walked with his head down and got spat and smacked around his whole life, you should honestly commit suicide, actually do something positive once in your life and donate organs to somebody in need, somebody that's praying to stay alive, you're a pussy and a coward, however it's never late for a change, you're sick and tired of living? then go cause havoc faggot live how you wanna take risk make life a movie, your movie, stop being a pathetic bitch.

Maybe stop being a Beta Cuck fag who dates a nigger and has long hair, and also likes pespi.

The picture you picked is perfect! describes you perfectly! that's what you are a sad pathetic clown.

Free drugs.
Just do your research before you take

protip: everyone thinks about fucked up shit. It's normal. Why do you think Sup Forums is so wildly popular?

We've been a species of murderers for thousands of years, but we're moving forward. We live in the most peaceful time in history.

Shut the fuck up faggot, did you even read the cucks reason? this faggot needs a good beating that's what he needs.

The regular med system is biased, and is like using a sledge hammer to pin a tack on wall.

A real medical intervention and curing is the kind that uses and adjust your perspective to external stimuli using technology, but then we are turning you into an incumbent which comes with certain responsibilities.

Shut the fuck up, ass hat.

Even if I get a prescription I am not sure if I use drugs cause I do not want to feel like not me. You know what I mean? Depends on what will be on prescription.

In my third world country mental hospital is sometimes worse than prison, really. This is why I am afraid of it.

Wrong.

BY LAW THEY WILL !! RAT YOU OUT TO THE POLICE.. doctor privilege is bunk they are just like junor cops. watch what you say...

Everyone has thoughts like that at some point. Don't be so hard on yourself tho. Get a new job too.

Taking meds for depression is like cutting your leg off because you broke your toe. At least the toe pain is gone.

kek, mine didn't give me shit

>I do not do drugs.

There's you fucking problem. Getting loaded is a basic human need, like food and pussy.

Dumbass war on drugs is like a war on food and pussy.

I have these thoughts for like a couple of years now, 3-4-5? I do not remember well. But it started long time ago.

I can't just change a job because no one wants me. I have no useful skills in modern society. ANd I work in a place that no one wants me now cause it is like stygmatized.

I wonder what is the point of living if I can;t accomplish anything I want or wanted and I just suffer without any joy? I mean, why even stay alive? For what? Asking for real.

I am afraid of that. I do not want to take drugs, but if it helps, why not. By help I mean actual situation that I will be doing better later without them.

Nothing like that man.

I am starting to fail in everyday life because I am not able to do simple things like getting up, making food, washing clothes or dishes, cleaning home... Not mentioning other things... I do not even find joy in things that I always liked like video games, running or any other activity.

Summer came early this year

I'm sure you could learn a useful skill. Set a goal and try your best to accomplish it.

be ready for electroshock therapy

I failed in everything I tried for last few years. I do not know why.

Even if I set a goal now, I am unable to do anything, I start thinking and in few minutes I am lying in my bed crying. I can't stand that feeling that I got inside me then.

It is cold think below the heart, like black hole trying to suck up my heart/lungs/stomach and everything else while in my head there is feeling that I will never be happy no matter what and that I wasted my life for nothing and it can't be undone. I just want help. I can;t do it anymore alone. If psychiatrist won't help me, I am afraid it's a matter of time I will be dead. I mean I want to, but there is this 0,00000001% of my will that wants to live.

I do not know how to explain what I feel.

Tell them where you buried the bodies
My therapist didn't believe me

Shut up you fucking faggot, go back to the basement to play minecraft and eating cheetos

A bill.

Try a dopamine inducing drug at the control of a smart friend. Your brain just needs its cylinder heads redone and then g2g. Basically you need to retrain your brain and sort of trick your body.

We inspect what makes you happy and try to recreate those factors when you want to try something's new.
Simple.. Seriously. Not sci fi. Unless you like all the attention to your complaints. Whatever rums your bums.

If they don't already have it, they will probably ask for basic medical history - have you had any surgeries, are you diabetic, are you allergic to any medications, have any of your relatives died of a heart attack - things like that. This might be on a form you fill out, rather than in person.

In person, they will ask you some standard questions, like "On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst you've ever felt, and 10 is the best, what do you say you feel like, most days?" or "Do you think of killing yourself? [if you say yes] How often? Do you have a specific plan for doing it?"

After that, the questions will be more tailored to your individual situation. They may ask about any family history of mental illness / emotional problems. Usually they will try to identify two or three major things to talk about in future visits.

(If you're in the US, the 1-to-10 questions are related to the insurance. They will ask you the same questions again later. If your answers haven't gone up enough, they will try to get approval for more visits. If your answers have gone up, then the insurance will stop paying. This is probably not accurate in other countries.)

expect the following:
>it's obscenely expensive
>it probably won't help you in the long run
only you can dig yourself out of a dark hole. psychiatrists might be good for some people, with extreme issues, but most people don't really need 'em at all. they just need to start taking responsibility over their own life :
>stop making up excuses for bad behavior
>accept that you are not a special case
>take off the victim coat & grow up
>make a plan and stick to it no matter what

Human trash is someone who harms other people, you just need to try to live, and if you don't like the rules of society try to fight to change them. Worse thing that can happen is you learning from your mistakes. But yeah, a psychiatrist, or rather, a psychologist, can help you more in how you should work out your daily routine than the average Sup Forums poster.

I think human trash is someone worthless, useless, not able to contribute.

How do you think, will the psychiatrist find what kills me and help me cure it?

I am running often. 10-15km. I can feel dopamine after about 40-50 minutes of constant running. But I got used to it and it doesn't change my state of mind and thoughts.

What if something that makes me happy is not possible for me?

Possibly. Some of what they do is try to make sure there isn't a "simple" medical explanation for it - like you were hit on the head or had a small stroke and have brain injuries.

Some of what they do is prescribe drugs to help you feel better.

A lot of what they do is try to help you believe for yourself that you can get better, and that you will get better.

>I think human trash is someone worthless, useless, not able to contribute.

Who taught you that?
What is it you feel the need to contribute to?

I somehow thought about it a few times and made my own definition.

To my family, to modern world, to people, science... Sometimes I got ideas of things that could possible help future generations or things that would prevent them from making same mistakes that we made. I just want to be a part of something, create, make.

I feel like my english isn't good enough to fully explain that.

Is it possible that after drugs I will be better but I will be in the same placem, but feeling better? It doesn;t do anything.

It's possible that the drugs will make you feel better without fixing anything else, but it's unlikely.

If the drugs work, even a little, it will help you to see things in a different way. This helps you to think about them differently and begin to fix other things.

Fair enough, but you shouldn't feel obligated to do anything for a system that encourages selfishness. If you do something for mankind do it out of inspiration not because you feel pressured to do so.
>or things that would prevent them from making same mistakes that we made.
You have noble ideas so you shouldn't feel bad about yourself, just don't put yourself in a pedestal and think constructively towards your selfesteem, and be emotionally independent from people that demands things from you.
Also if you want to have useful skills for society, learn them by studying or by starting with simpler jobs to have curriculum, or hell, simply lie about it. What you claim to be incompetence, i fear is only lack of confidence. The world is driven by incompetent people.

It is not like other people makes me do something. I feel that need from myself only. I just feel that it is natural way for a civilized human being to improve society and modern world so we could go further/easier/better/faster. If it is possible, then why not go for it?

With learning useful skills there are couple of problems, like:
>dead end job with fucked up hourr
>no weekends cause 2 x 12h shifts
>about $360 a month
>no money to study/make a course/train anything
>no time to do anything for more than 1-2 hours a day
>fucked up basic education so not basics
>hard to start anything without basics...

I would love to go for programming front end, but I simply have no idea how to start to find a job, how to learn without time and teacher etc. etc.

I just want some help.

Are you at least trying to look for other jobs? That would be the next step if you aren't doing it now. Sometimes opportunities arise, and you don't have much to lose.

Yes, sending CVs almost everyday for entry level jobs like salesmen etc.

No calls back... Here my current job is treated like huge no - no and no one wants us... Can;t blame them. I work as municipal police officer.

I don't know how to help you other than encouraging you to keep trying, if only all the miserable people could stand united for a common interest, improving our conditions wouldn't be hard. Hope you can find something better sooner than later.
Also, maybe a psychologist isn't a bad idea after all in case your depression isn't just because spending so much time in a job that makes you feel like a tool for almost all day. I know people with only like 2h of free time too but still managing to do things they like, but yeah no one should endure that.

The beginning of what you need (not necessarily want) to know about improving yourself and your lifestyle.

The thing is I can't just go to psychologist, I need something like a prescription from a doctor (may be psychiatrist) that tells that I need a psychologist. Seems fucking logical, yeah...? Totally, I can;t go straight to a psychologist, but I can get a prescription from a surgeon that tells me to go there. Love this country, really. Like in a theatre.

I would love to try, but anything I want is (I believe and think) impossible for me to reach. And in that case, why living? This is my question.

Again, if I do not get what I want what's the point of living? Someone...?

A psychiatrist's job is to at least help fix people's lives in a manner that's as objective as possible. He/she's not getting paid to be your friend.
Speaking of which, OP, have you tried venting your problems with any of your friends? Do you have any that would be tolerant enough to listen to your woes?

I have been talking to my fiancee a few times. But she can't help me other than be with me and givimg me support in anything I would like to do.

I do not have real friends I guess, really. I was always that kid that takes thigns too seriously and thinks too sad/rational.

Family knows shit and can;t help.

Find something that gives you inner strength when you don't have anything left; like art, nature, religion, science, knowledge, humour, philosophy, a political ideology... Whatever is bigger than yourself you can be inspired and life by and possibly, inspire others. Something that defines you in a more authentic way than your job.

She can listen, can't she? And I assume she knows something about you on the grounds that she's decided to commit to marrying you.
Give her everything she needs to know, and have her be a judge of what you should do from here on.

It sounds so easy to do, yet, I just can't do some easy things. I do not know why. Fuck.

TO be honest, she may be the only reason why I am still alive trying to do something about that.

My need is simple, not art/nature/humour etc. Money. I want that to secure a life for me, fiancee, future kids etc. and maybe start something, a company, a foundation etc.

It might not be easy if you don't want to make yourself more vulnerable than you are.

A straitjacket and endless supply of prozac.

>trusting a shrink
The fuck is wrong with you?

>My need is simple, not art/nature/humour etc. Money.
Well, you have to face the fact that you are part of the bottom of the pyramid. Wealth is based on theft/delusion in the same way your boss can have their job thanks to you. If you pretend to ascend the pyramid while having other people stay below you and having the same problems you are complaining about, then i couldn't be able to root for you without being hypocritical.

weed man

If you're going to a psychiatrist I assume you've already had psychoanalysis done by a psychologist.
In that case they're going to recommend drugs to you. That's it, then you're going back home. They'll keep in touch and see how it works out for you, then they'll tweak it over time to achieve the desired result.

This is purely symptom suppression. I don't know what you're medicating but lasting solutions are in therapy.

If you lie to the psych, you'll end up with the wrong meds, with all the hilarity that would ensue from that.
Unless you're not taking your meds, like this guy I'm guessing. Don't. You'll be one of those guys who throws away his life by trapping himself inside a psychosis.

that theyll help u

I am afraid I do not fully understand.

Few posts above I wrote about that I can;t simply go to a psychologist without a prescription from a surgeon, psychiatrist, anyone.

Well, far as what you can expect, psychiatrists prescribe meds and nothing else.
Also you're thinking of a reference from your GP. A psychiatrist wouldn't give one (couldn't). You won't ever see a surgeon until you've been through a medical process, GP -> diagnostic specialists -> hospital.

Going there tommorow and telling all the truth. Will see results... I think can;t be worse, really.

if it cant be worse, why do u worry, u fuck?

He will ask a few stock wuestions then prescribe Zoloft or some shit. In snd out in 25 minutes. Don't expect much caring. Look for drug name on his pen or pad or coffee mug. That's what he will prescibe. Don't tell him you are about to kill yourself ir he will have to commit you.
