From bad psychiatrist to worse?...
So now that I've had that breakdown and quit school again for the umpteenth time I can't see the psychiatrist I was seeing at school, since he was tied to that institution. Which I suppose is a blessing in disguise since as others here said I need to see someone else and preferably more often than once every 2 or 3 weeks. AT the last meeting with the psychiatrist I WAS seeing he recommended I go back to my family DR and see if I can get in touch with someone in my local geographic area, he also recommended a few more med changes that I have not yet implemented because he thought I should go back to some old meds I took a long time back that stopped working for me. Not sure if I will change back to the old meds or not yet.
Anyway I saw my family DR and told him that I need to see a new psychiatrist but not one of the 2 that I've already seen. He said have you tried psychotherapy, to which I said no but would be willing to try. So he recommends this guy:

So great. Looks like I've gone from one bad psychiatrist to another or possibly worse one. I haven't gotten the call from this guy yet but if and when I do I'm not sure I'll take the appointment. I'm rather at a loss as to what to do now. I guess I could look for someone who IS well rated and ASK to be referred to them, can you do that? That still leaves me with finding a therapist, I don't know any in this area and therapy you usually have to pay for out of pocket here, unlike psychiatrists. I don't even know where to start there, well that's not quite true I have a few ideas I guess but I've lost most of my motivation.
I've been spending the days since the breakdown just staying at home here sleeping and eating. I watch TV, or movies at night, read wikipedia, and try to forget that the world exists. It's not good that my parents enable me by allowing me to live at home like this but they worry about what would happen if they kicked me out or did something similar. I'm sort of on the edge of being an alcoholic, I do turn to it when I get super upset. So they worry about that too. I'm really just leeching off them, but then I don't know what else to do at this point

1. My dear Locut0s...
It seems to me that you might go ahead and see this psychiatrist. One bad review does not mean he wouldn't work for you.
I'm really sorry you're having such a rough time. I wish there were something I could recommend, but I just don't have any ideas.
It IS good to hear from you.
I'm glad your parents are there for you...

2. Thank you Peggy, you are a very comforting constant here on DU!...
I must thank you for all the support you have given me!
Hmmmm.
Ask the CalPig primitive for something that costs her money, of which she's got gobs, and see how helpful she is.

4. I agree with Peggy
Go see the doctor that was recommended. I wouldn't base my opinion on one bad rating.

3. good luck - you never know how the chemistry will work
it is worth a shot at seeing that person. I had my best experience with a Fruedian, which is a style I strongly disagree with, but we negotiated how our sessions would go and it was probably the best and most helpful time of my life.

That's the problem right there. His parents have enabled him to never have to face the world. Because of this he doesn't have the skills necessary in order to face the world. They did him a huge disservice by enabling him to be a leech on them and on society for the rest of his life.

Knuckle draggers, it's from bad to worst.

Careful, some liberal coddler (in the classical form, of course) will call you mean. :lmao:

He's like a sloth who was raised in captivity. He can't survive in the wild.

It's not that much of a problem for society.
The rest of his life won't be that long.

My son's girlfriend is going to graduate top of her high school class next spring, 2014. She's has already been offered a scholarship to HAA-VARD. She went up this past summer to check it out but decided she didn't want to go there. Yeah, I too thought she was a brilliant young girl until I found out she wants to major in medicine and be a psychiatrist. She wants to treat/work with the institutionalized insane.....what a waste of a good mind.
Who in their right mind wants to sit around and listen to democrats cry, piss and moan all day.

Some animals in the wild eat their young at birth.
This might be an example of why this practice should be considered by humans.

Why is LocoNuts concerned about visiting that psychiatrist? I read the review. Is it because he's not "queer friendly"?
If that's the case, someone should break it to LocoNuts that his rubber vagina isn't a boy vagina, or a girl vagina, it's just a piece of rubber, so he's ok there.
That should ease his mind.

I just had to go read that....
Oh yeah, I'd say the responding patient is certainly queer.....and the doc is anti-pot.....double whammy to the DUmmie.

90 percent! 90 percent!

90 percent! 90 percent!
Isn't that what the Germans used to pay their lazy until it just about broke them.
But at least the Germans only paid 90 percent of their past wages to the ones that had had a job, not the never employed.
They had to many not looking for work so they cut it back to 60 percent and most went back to work.

The more I read of this particular dummie the more I think that he isn't nuts in the general sense of the word, I think he's just afraid or refuses to grow up.
Yo dummie!!! Listen up now. I'm gonna explain it in really simple terms so you can understand. Mommy and Daddy are gonna die sooner or later and then you will HAVE to take care of yourself. Understand dummie? So you might as well start learning now. :loser: :loser:

I'm really just leeching off them,
The new shrink must really be a good one. Loconuts hasn't even seen him yet and already has a 'breakthrough'.
-
I'm shocked...I say, shocked that there is not a govt program of sympathetic nannies to hold hands and say soothing words.
The only thing I can find in my Obamacare brochure that fits this pathetic case are the death panels. And I'm betting his past three therapists have already contacted the death squads

Another loser making excuses for his pitiful, useless life. What the hell does he have to freak out about? He's totally enabled by his parents so, apparently it's okay if he's a lazy leech.

Isn't the locust in Canada?
I would have thought that as they have a single-payer healthcare system there all would be well - surely all he would have to do is go to his doctor, who would then refer him to the best and most highly qualified specialist...who would be able to see him without any waiting list.

Yeah, he's a Maple Leafean.

I have to say that I'm not a fan of the Canadian DUmmies - there's a few of them who are particularly noxious and vile...it seems odd that these folk are not (from my English perspective) foreigners; whereas the good, sensible, civilised American folk here are.

Canadians can be kind of weird.
I dunno about the perspective of New Englanders here, who are close to Canada, but then and again, the quebecquois are a different breed themselves. I have no idea what they're like.
Around here, we get the best of Canadians--those from western Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan--but even they seem sort of bland, shallow.
British Columbians might as well be from Washington, Oregon, or California, which is not good.
Australians are more our style.

There is only one reviewer and does not mean much.

You know something is wrong when you have been to enough "shrinks" to be able to rate the best or worst.

I still think LocoNuts and Dennis the Menace should find a way to become roomies.

Amber is searching high and low for a roommate too...

They're certainly often to be found on each others' threads showering compliments and encouragement.

They're only worried that once they got you out of their house you'd lack the maturity to stay gone and come back.
