Stupid shit psychiatrist and therapists say

[Armadillo]

Post all the idiotic and cringey stuff your psychiatrist and/or therapist said to you, let's all have a good laugh.

I'll start.

"Benzodiapezines" This braindead moron couldn't even correctly pronounce the name of one of the most used class of psychiatric medications.
"You can't get addicted to 4mg of Xanax a day" Guess what? I got addicted, the WDs were terrible.
"This medication is helping you, you shouldn't discontinue it" LOL. I know if something is helping me, you idiot.
"But why do you want to kill yourself? You have a great life, think about the migrants that die every day in the Mediterranean and get eaten by sharks, what should they do?" I almost laughed at this, it was so random...
"Suicide doesn't solve any problem" You are retarded, right?
"It's impossible that this medication is giving you this side effect" Happened multiple times. And I only had side effects that were common for that drug, but my psychiatrist doesn't know shit about the medications she prescribes.
"You have too little of X and Y neurotransmitter" Just by looking and talking with me for 10 mins...
"What about we try X medication?
-You already prescribed that to me, it made me sick, you remember?
Oh..." Happened multiple times.
"So basically this medication works by [...].
-Actually, the mechanism of action is [...].
Yeah maybe you are right, I don't really know exactly how this drug works." What?
"So you are feeling lethargic... we could try this med" The main side effect is literally sleepiness...

The list should be longer but I can't list all the stupid crap these idiots believe.
I have met a lot of people that didn't have the necessary qualifications to do that job.

Ah yes, when most of the world operates on Cronyism and is not a Meritocracy.

 

[MsM3talGamer]

My dumbass therapist would say: "Why aren't you crying now? The stuff you're describing to me is incredibly traumatic and you look so calm".

I felt like replying: "Have you never heard of disassociation, bitch?".

This is gold. Actually made me laugh

 

[netrezven]

Visited her couple of times. After telling her part of my story (1-2%), she said that now she feels paranoid too. I think she was very happy to know, that i'm ok and don't need any more sessions.

How many milligrams of benzodiaphragms do you take everyday?

 

[therhydler]

You look much better... and you're smiling, that's a huge improvement on last time

It astounds me how easy it is to fool these people, it literally takes a smile to get you out of a psych ward

If you can fake smile you're a good member of society. They don't want you to get better. They want you to be useful.

 

[Empty Smile]

The last therapist I had saw me smiling one day, and she said, "You seem to be in a happy mood today!"

I said, "Yep, every time I think of suicide, I smile knowing one day I will succeed."

She wiped that shitty grin off her face real quick.

An amusing response, indeed but be careful. All she has to do is make one phone call and it's funny farm time.

She didn't bother. That was the same day she told me that there was nothing more she could do for me and sent me on my way. I guess she figured I'm more crazy than what she's trained for.

It's cool she values your freedom though. A lot of people see people like us as sub humans who should be locked up. She could have been like "I can't deal with this." and called the cops on you.

She threatened to have me locked up a few times, and I just shrugged it off as being on vacation from society. I know everything I've ever said to her has probably made her feel uncomfortable one way or another. If I made her job hell, I'm happy because I didn't want to see her in the first place.

Have you ever been locked up in a psych ward by force?

 

[Empty Smile]

Have you ever been locked up in a psych ward by force?

Yes, 3 times. The last time was several months ago and was locked up for 3 months after I had a major breakdown.

Better than home?

 

[Empty Smile]

Better than home?

Yes and no.

Yes because it was a vacation from society and I was around people going through their own stages of depression or suicide attempts. So it was more of feeling accepted into a society of people who understood you, kind of like this site.

And no because being sanctioned prevented me from ctb like I wanted to, took away my freedom, and kept me away from what I value most in life, my whiskey.

Personally I hated it because I value privacy and hate people treating me like a retarded child or a criminal. It was also boring as hell in there.

 

[Empty Smile]

Yea, it got boring in there, but there is always that one person who could make you feel sane. One guy in there was always either talking to himself, or arguing with himself. And when he argued with himself, it was hard not to smile or laugh, especially when it became physical....

Have you ever seen a person who would punch himself in the face, laugh, and say is that all you got, then punch himself in the face with his other hand?

That then would advance to where he's hugging himself fighting(like he's got his arms around another person) and falling onto the ground with arms and legs flailing around.

He finally got sent to an asylum, and it got quiet after that. Then the boredness came along.

 

[Armadillo]

I wish I could get 4mg of Xanax everyday.

Funny thing is that I didn't even have all that much of an anxiety problem at the time. It got worse during the withdrawals.

Btw I seem to not be able to enjoy Xanax anymore, I don't know why. I get really depressed for a few hours after I take it.
I can still abuse the fuck out of some other GABAergic drugs (including alcohol) but most benzos don't work on me anymore. Fuck...

 

[Moony21]

My fav sentense is too, "you can tell me about your hard life without crying?"

The most of them went never troug shit in life and know nothing about tabletts and how they ruine your life. After the Session they think "oh I'm sure I really helped my client"!
Fu*k off!

People build up a resistance to Xanax really quickly, unfortunately. And I plan on CTBing before I have to go through Xanax withdrawal. Fuck that.

Nah, it's not tolerance. I feel the effect, I just don't like it anymore.

 

[Jen Erik]

Me, someone with a long documented history of distorted self-image and disordered eating habits, who is 5'10"/150lbs. (177cm/68kg)

Me: "I feel so fat and ugly."

My therapist: "How can I help you to lose my more weight? Have you thought about plastic surgery? If it makes you feel good about yourself, it's okay."

 

[TAW122]

This is a good list @Armadillo. To add onto the list, this is just one of the stupid shits that my counselor has said to me in the recent past (about a year ago).

Me: "How do I deal with 'x' in social situation?" (This is coming from someone who has Aspergers and doesn't know fuck about how to deal with said social situation)

Counselor: "So how do you deal with 'x' then?" (Lolwut, she just repeated my question back to me! How rude and utterless useless!)

Me: "What do you mean?"

Counselor: "What do you feel about 'x' situation?"

Me: (More confused but a bit frustrated at this point) "Look, I just want you to answer my question, damn it! Give me something concrete, something practical."

Counselor: "I'll get to it but what do you think about 'x'?"

Eventually I reached some conclusion that she could have just told me in about 5-10 minutes, but nope, let's just drag out the session and waste your time as well as make you more confused and frustrated because that really helps, yay! 45-50 min passed and the session is over and that's it for the week and until the next week... Ultimately, I cancelled the scheduled appointment and just upfront told her that therapy isn't what I'm seeking for and how it didn't get me anywhere.

Fucking useless tool, and this is just one of the examples of many of my sessions including with other therapists and counselors. There are many more examples I could give, but it would all be too long. My experiences with therapy has been just that 99% of the time. In the rare case of having anything practical to say, it was just stuff that I could have found elsewhere, figured out on my own, or isn't exactly applicable.

Overall, the session gets weird and unproductive, got nothing useful out of it. Waste of time and energy, not to mention all the pressure and fear of saying the wrong thing and getting carted off to the psych ward. She never answered my direct question with an direct answer, just verbally danced around with my question. What a joke. I just came out of the session more frustrated, more defeated, and feeling more useless than before. This is the shit that normies and greater public suggest as 'help.' What a fucking joke.

So now, when people tell me to see a therapist, I tell them to fuck off (not directly these words, but in a nicer way). It is also equally useless to explain to people why or how therapy and mental health is a joke. They don't get and don't want to get it as they are too immersed in their koolaid shit that they wouldn't know real or fake. The usual rhetoric from people (not psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and what not) who suggest that are "You didn't find the right one," "You didn't try hard enough or you didn't want to be helped", "(Insert special case or personal anecdote) has been helped so you can too!" and other bullshit statements. They are so delusional and close-minded that I've long given up trying to argue any logic or sense to them.

Finally, I never talk about ctb, suicide, right to die, or stuff because to me that's really walking a tight rope and any mistake means severe consequences, including being forcibly locked up against my will (even for having committed no crimes nor done anything illegal).

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Angst visits mental health clinic.
Psychiatrist laughs "oh Angst, you're out of my league!"
Psychiatrist closes Angst's mental health file.
Angst runs out of meds, goes back to mental health place for re-fill.
"Well, this would have been much easier if you hadn't stopped going to your appointments."

My thrapist told me infront of my abuser and my mother that I'm the one pulling the family apart despite that fact that she knows the abuser is the one guilty of it. Hell she knows he tried to kill me and abuses me and my mom. But I must be bad, I'm the dude who's a metalhead and my brother dresses normaly therefore he's the good boy and I'm bad. I never trusted that bitch again.

She threatened to have me locked up a few times, and I just shrugged it off as being on vacation from society. I know everything I've ever said to her has probably made her feel uncomfortable one way or another. If I made her job hell, I'm happy because I didn't want to see her in the first place.

I wish I was as brave as you. How you handeled that bitch put a smile on my face

Honestly I wish I was a vampire from The Vampire Diaries. Then I can compell the horrible people in my life to do horrific things. Then have them go mad over it.
