I want to go to therapy for my mental problems and get a real diagnosis but I am so afraid to go to one. I don't even know how I would approach that. Do I just call one and ask for an appointment? How do I know if my health insurance pays for this?

ask them?

Why get a diagnosis that will only be used against you - you realize that they never declare you sane right

>>81678410 (OP)
yeah just google psychiatrist(medication based) or psychologist(talk therapy)

its up to the individual to see how comfortable they are diagnosing. Some are some are not.

you can even shoot them emails to find out what service they can provide you.

I don't want to I know they will just say to ask the psychiatrist or make me fill out endless forms.

Because I want to know with words why I am such a fucked up loser.
>>81678508
I did that and there are a lot. I don't want to talk to a woman she would no understand me.

no shit it's not the same fucking deal but i'm not perfect

You don't. You suffer in silence like the rest of us

Go on your health insurance provider's website and do a search for in-network therapists in your area

I am so afraid to talk about all of this. I will probably cry in front of a stranger. I don't want to but I feel like I have to. I have so much trauma and other bad things inside me.

An adhd diagnosis gets you access to sweet stimulants you can't get over the counter, which I find useful for holding down a job.

some astronomers need money for other astronomers but basically rich people pay to not fail

psychiatrist are trained for this, normally they won't make you feel bad but comfortable talking from the get go. I'd suggest going to a young one if you can because they're usually both less jaded and more on point with newer shit

I would not even know where to start. I feel like I would lie to him just to protect myself.

>>81678599
they will charge you for it because amsterdam makes you experience everything else once you leave

nta but I got an assessment not too long ago and he constantly pushed on things I didn't want to talk about and overlooked a bunch of other shit.
Realizing after he gave me little to nothing after the assessments were over that he was probably the worst person I could've picked to go to.

you don't need to say everything at once if you don't feel ready, seeing the psychiatrist isn't like being interrogated by the police.

>>81678410 (OP)
accept it, nothing will help you, the only thing that will help is crying in your little room alone

what ritual taps you into someone else is doing it anyway?

>>81678779
What do you mean ritual buddy? u forgot to take pills?

My last therapist literally told me he had to stop working with me because I was making him depressed lmao. Just use LLMs like ChatGPT for therapy. Most therapist are genuinely terrible at their job and are most likely going to be years younger than you unless you're a newfag.
