Question Posted Monday June 16 2008, 12:55 am

13/f okay so i used to go to a pshychiatrist because i have problems with depression and cutting. every time i had to go i would dread it for days and when i would get in the building i would feel really sick. just picturing my psychiatrists face makes me want to throw up. i get so nervous when i get in there and i hate it how she asks quetions and i always lie to everything. i just hate going there it makes me even worse, she seriously doesn't help AT ALL. i tell my dad over and over that i hate her and i hate going to her but he wont listen to me. it's not her that i hate, because if i really had to think about it, she's nice, a just hate going to someone and being forced to talk. i hate talking about any of my problems and i hate it how people know about them. every time i go i get even more depressed any my anxiety gets worse and so does the cutting. i don't know what else to do because no one will listen and no one cares that i hate it, they all think its helping me and making me better. i get forced every week to go and when i get there for an hour straight the lady just sits there and stares at me, we barely even talk. all it's doing is wasting time and money. i don't know what to do or say to her or my dad, please help!

Well, in order for therapy to help you, you have to be honest. A good start would be opening up to her about how going to her makes you feel, how you hate being there, etc. Don't worry, her feelings won't be hurt.

Don't feel forced to say anything. She sits and looks at you waiting for you to be READY to say something. Therapy is about you, not the psychiatrist.

This my sound redundant but tell her how you feel. Tell her you are uncomfortable with speaking with her. The more you lie to her and your dad the longer you'll be in therapy. Something that may help you to relax is wearing something relaxing or bring something with you to make you feel comfortable. But seriously she can't do her job if you don't tell her what is really going on. It could actually hurt you. The doctor could misdiagnose you or prescribe medicine you don't need. Also to, you may need to see a therapist too not only a doctor. Therapist seem to be more out going and people friendly than psychiatrist.
