Have you ever visited a psychiatrist for any kind of anxiety related issues? I can't really handle this anymore and I want to get some sort of prescription to help. Any anons taking SSRIs or SNRIs, does it.help much for anxiety? I'm scared of benzos.Any advice on psychiatrists would be helpful.
>>82571708Nope, if I ever were to go to someone because of issues, it would be a priest.
>>82571708Seeing a psychiatrist with my mum because we were on the verge of killing each other. Long ago right. To cut things short, not talking about life story here (grief, pain, substance abuse etc.)... mum was prescribed an antidepressant and became sweet and chill, I was prescribed the schizo treatment (because I fall on the schizo spectrum so anxiety, lack of motivation, magic thinking).Now I'm on the perfect meds, and it's not the fucking chemical straightjacket. Minimum dosage, because the meds are a lubricant for therapy and healing. You go see a good therapist, work on yourself, go back and talk, adjust meds, adjust your life, etc. Until you're confident in saying you feel better.That's if (I hope) you live in a healthcare nation where treatment doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The therapist put me on "long lasting treatment" regimen (also because I have a rare eye condition) so I pay literally nothing and all the meds even without healthcare would cost me like 1.50euro per month. And I receive generous gibs for disability (physical and mental). Life is infinitely better now. Depending on how severe your case is you might benefit a lot from seeing a good psychiatrist.SSRIs are not what the meme says they are. My brother was prescribed an SSRI for his depression, he took the minimum dose too and it helped him immensely. Seeing a shrink to get meds prescribed is not like you're going to fucking blow your brains out with chemicals, at all.
>>82571708Go insane like any self-respecting man
>>82571708I wanna go to a psychiatrist but I'm afraid that they'll know too much, put me in the silly room
>>82572061That's what I'm gonna do, I'm at my wits end, fuck it all, getting high today and worsen my psychosis
>>82571708Don't go on SSRIs they will give you sexual dysfunction
>>82571708Yeah.Nothing they gave me made any difference except for valium, and that stopped working after a month.You are right to fear benzos, that shit is nasty.Gonna do TMS soon, hopefully that helps.>>82572155You morons are all afraid of nothing.Last time I saw mine I told him about my AI torture bots, how I was exposed to violence at a young age, and how I started squeezing a cat once and couldn't make myself stop for like a full minute. This was a week after I was taken to the hospital because I grabbed a knife and started walking to the police station for the express intent of suicide by cop, which he knew about.He told me that people recreating their trauma in 'safe' ways such as through artistic expression is quite common and normal, and confessed he wasn't a cat person.Look, the reality is getting sectioned involves a lot of fucking paperwork and bullshit and nobody is gonna go through that crap just because you opened up about the stupid trivial shit you think anyone will bat an eyelid at. They don't give a fuck about you fapping to loli or whatever dumbass shit you're scared of them locking you up for, every week they deal with literal 60 IQ NPC's who raped their preteen daughters and come to them looking for a shoulder to cry on because their daughters don't want anything to do with them now for some reason.
>>82571708I got burnt out from work and after that started talking to a psychiatrist. Have tried both SSRIs, SNRIs, and tetracyclic antidepressants. No pills will fix you. You need to figure out what in your life causes you to feel the way you do, and then work on that. Maybe start looking at your life from a different perspective. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help with some of that.
>>82571708I went to one for depression, turns or I was just going through really bad anxiety. Never took SSRI's because they literally destroy your brain. Try everything besides feeding into the pharmaceutical industry- change in diet, working out at home, or just talking to people on Discord. In general, people tend to be rather pleased when you want to interact with them. So long as you're not trauma dumping and show interest in what they say, which is easy in discord without a camera. Stay clear of tranny discord servers, they'll groom you into being a mass shooter. I'd say so TTRPGs or visit your FLG if you have the courage to do it. Everyone there is already the lowest of the low and accept literally anyone
>>82572803Have you ever seen fear in the eyes of your psychiatrist? I have
>>82571708Yeah I take Paxil daily
>>82572908Anon, I'm autistic, I have never seen fear in anyone's eyes. I have never seen anything in anyone's eyes but their pupils.
>>82571708PTSDWhen I refused to take drugs of any kind they shrugged and said there was nothing they could do.
>>82572936be glad nobody fears you. Nothing worse than being treated like a monster
>>82571708I just self-medicate with alcohol every morning, like man has done for generations. Keeps me cool and masculine rather than cucked and femme-coded. Pills are for women.
>>82572954Anon, I just said I was autistic. I'm treated like a violent monster by everyone because of the way I stand and not making eye contact at the right times. Yeah, it fucking sucks.
