Small Rant I have not done this in a while forgive me. It has been a really bad day.

For me, it would be more like, come in now talk and talk some more while I take notes and ask one a few insignificant questions to prode you to keep talking so I don't really have to do anything.

I will never give you any constructive help or ways to try to help or handle the situation. I will only listen. I will not tell you your diagnosis so you can try to work on it or I will get your diagnosis wrong because I have no training in that area of therapy but you can only see me and I'm the only one that can diagnose you.

That is what I was dealing with for most of my life. Well, till this year. I have gotten more help for everything this year than in forty years of therapy. I guess it helps if you see a well-trained psychiatrist more than once a year. For me, now I see my psychiatrist three times a week to once a month depending on med changes.

What a difference it makes to have a psychiatrist and therapists who listen to help first. Then they also give you direct, information on how to start helping yourself and most important medications that work for you.
