So I just started really packing for college. Now I'm really stressed out. Its so confusing trying to fgure out how I'm going to organize my room and everything. I'm scared. And then my dad got mad at me for trying to pack and needing help when my parents were trying to watch a TV show. Sorry for being productive.All that was on top of my psychiatrist yelling at me today. I'm scared of her but I told myself that today I would try being honest with her and tell her what has been going on. So she askes me how I'm doing and I tell her...then she gets mad because I didn't tell her I had started seeing my psychologist twice a week. I'm sorry....but that totally is not an answer to "how are you doing?" Then I told her I had been cutting but it only lasted five days and that I had stopped. She yelled at me and told me there is no way I should have let it go past two days. I should have gotten help....um okay well clearly I was in denial about it and didn't want help. I was pretty proud that I had stopped after five days and finally gotten help. SO then she asked me how I was dealing with it. I told her my coping mechanism which I'm pretty proud of considering I came up with them on my own and they worked. She told me they were wrong. um. excuse me. how the fuck do you know what coping skills are right/wrong for me? Are you inside my head? I don't think so! I was so damn proud that I have been depression free for a week and a half (the longest time in five years) I was proud I had stopped cutting on my own. I was proud I had fucking gotten my life in order and my drive to live back. and she fucking put me down and told me I should have done it quicker. (I'm sorry about the cussing I'm really upset) I felt worse leaving her office than I did when I came in. Seriously?! I paid my psychiatrist to make me feel depressed. thanks alot.I hope tomorrow is better.

If she is going to yell at you and make you uncomfortable you should seek another therapist. They are meant to provide a safe environment for the patient not an abusive one. You should report her to the mental health institute, I\'d hate to think there were others that she does this to.
Wow, that was so unprofessional!! You did not deserve that, some of the doctors need help themselves. I will write more, have to run an errand, but want you to know I do care.
i\'m so sorry for what your going thru. my therapist got upset when i stopped taking my meds! people in that field of work need to be more kind i think
i think you should look for a new therapist! there is no way i would go and see someone that made me feel worse than when i went in. you know what works best for yourself, and she should work with you on that
Don\'t go back to that psychiatrist.....you don\'t need that shit
You should have slapped that bitch and walked out. Anyone who doesn\'t respect you for coming forward and being honest doesn\'t deserve to associate with you, let alone say they can help you. Don\'t let her push you down. You are stronger than that. I\'m proud that you were able to be honest with your therapist, but pissed she treated you that way. Next time (if there is a next time) tell her to kiss off and walk out.
It is definitely not okay for your psychiatrist to yell at you- I am sure you already have a disfunctional family ready and able to fill that roll! she sounds like she might have felt threatened by your choice to see the psychologist and by your resourcefulness. No matter what she said , I think you are justified in feeling proud of yourself. I am hugely impressed by your will to change and your efforts to take care of yourself.
aww hugsss thats is so unprofessional like.you can request a different one just by saying personal. I would not settle you deserve someone whom you feel comfortable with and can connect with
