Lots of times a good psychiatrist will have a psychologist or two they
like to work with. So ask your psychiatrist tomorrow if he would recommend
any. And if you would prefer a female to a male then ask specifically
about a female. Also realize that its sometimes best to interview a few
and see who you like.


I have three son's and my oldest it took lots of work to find a psychiatrist
that could prescribe a medication that would work for him, (16 years) And
honestly we had many psychologist but only one or two worked good
with him. And he hated it when they left. And the psychiatrist that worked
out for him, was one that talked to him. She happened to be a adolescent
boys one. But she happened to work inside a residential treatment
center that schools in INdiana placed lots of boys that couldn't work
good in schools. My son luckily was placed by the court when they could
tell he had lots of mental health help,but none had helped.


My younges son, has lucked out. He has had one psychiatrist for 6 years.
And three psychologist. But one in particular has worked with him for
or part of all 6 years. The other two are school psychologist, that the
special education department hired. One left (he also helped my oldest)
but he still needs to talk at times.


Me I talk to all that will listen, they are my psychologist. And I love all
my friends. And I will be searching for a program with psychologist, or
a group when I can afford it again. OR maybe in the next two weeks.

and i need to step up and be an adult. everything is getting to me and im trying not to rely on the xanax but it seems like mmy only option

It seems like you need to be looking for a new pdoc as well as a therapist.
what a jerk.
they are not all like that really.
Maybe you could ask for a woman?

I agree with Bizi...there are a lot of jerks out there...too many I think...you have to have a lot of patience and faith in your judgment. I don't want to count how many I have seen in my life until my current one of almost seven years almost fell in my lap. There are jewels out there among all the paste. Keep humming your song as you look.

Try some self-soothing.
This is what a person would if they had a counselor trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

Do something right now that activates each of your five senses.
-Look around the room. Write down what you see. Notice it.
-Now move on to hearing. Sing something. Listen to yourself.
-Next sense.

You can also go exercise for 20 mins to 1 hour. That works.

Go do the five senses or take a long walk and come back and tell me what you feel. OK?
