what's the procedure with psychiatrists?

I want to go in and tell them that I have problems with intense emotions and anxiety. when I am really stressed or feeling really emotional I will often hit myself etc so I think I'm guaranteed to get treated one way or another. it's not like they can chalk all that up to there being nothing wrong with me.

I'm afraid I'll be diagnosed with BPD and that it'll result in long term consequences for me. does anyone here have experience with that? what sort of medications do you all think they give out? how effective will it all be? do I bother? I am actually desperate.

They'll give you mood stabilizers and you'll stop being so dramatic.

>>81512189 (OP)
DO NOT TELL THEM YOU HIT YOURSELF OR ANYTHING SIMILAR. If you make even the slightest hint at harming yourself or others, even just thinking about it, you get locked up.

Why not just feel your emotions? I know its because your abusive parents told you emotions are bad but I want your reason

Be very specific. When and where is this happening?

Pennsylvania, United States. 2023.

my parent's aren't abusive and they've never been these big disciplinarians or tiger parents or whatever. but I will start breaking shit and I'll even blow up on others if my emotions start to swell and I honestly prefer a few bruises to that. when they swell real hard it's like I can't breath and I'll start writhing in anger and agony and hitting myself relieves that torture.

I won't then. but then how do I know they won't just tell me what's happening to me is normal because my symptoms or whatever aren't severe enough

What are you gonna do when you go to therapy and find out all your problems were caused by your abusive parents.?

Funnily enough that was the exact trap I fell into. I thought, "if I don't tell them whats really going on, they'll prescribe weak shit". I admitted to the psychiatrist that I had suicidal thoughts in the past, and was forcefully taken to a god awful run down facility full of screaming, crying, actually insane people, where my watch and debit card was stolen by the staff.
My eventual choice was to just ignore this industry entirely, I take KSM-66 and cbd oil for my anxiety, which can be bought online without prescription.

I'm sorry that you're a low IQ monkey and that the only exposure you've ever had to mental health discourse is that time you binged The Sopranos

I think you should be honest completely with them anon and then take heed the help they try to give you.
If you aren't honest with them, the help they can give you or will give you will not work, and you'll prolong your suffering.
You said yourself that you feel like you need help and are desperate.
Just be honest with them.
Its their job to help you, not judge you or make you sicker.

>>81512332
Why didn't you put in the work on your own to find out why your so anxious?

>>81512334
That dodge and deflection of my question tells me everything I need to know mr vullie. Btw. You have the personality disorder of a woman . Lmfao

>>81512356
it's not like I'm going out of my way to discreetly go past the question when I already rejected the fucking premise. go fuck yourself vermin

>>81512344
I did. I have a strong understanding of myself and my problems, I've always been interested in that kind of thing, I'm self-aware by nature. Scheduling an appointment with a psychiatrist was me trying to experiment with medication, to see if it would help me. I was naive.

>>81512373
You are fucking embarrassing

OP stop arguing with retards and heed my advice >>81512338

>>81512386
Ok. Then what was the root cause of your anxiety?

>>81512403
How is Opie gonna be honest with them when she's not honest with us?

>>81512189 (OP)
Find a straight male one, the rest is bs who dont understand nothing of you as a male and will just gaslight money out of you or your insurance

There were a few big ones. Work was falling apart at the time, budget cuts meant my best people were getting laid off, and I suddenly had a lot on my plate. My relationship was rocky, her dad hated me, and was always trying to come between us. Family problems, my brother is a fucking idiot and kept getting himself in trouble.

>>81512449
I thought you said you were self aware by nature.

>>81512465
Is the implication that I'm lacking self-awareness somewhere? Whats the issue?
