After your response, I felt like such an idiot. I cried for almost an hour, and for the first time ever in my life I felt this urge to hurt my self someway. Never in my life did I think I'd get so low that I'd even consider harming myself, and I guess we should thank the good chemicals in my brain that I didn't.
Your response is the reason why I'm too scared to talk to people, the reason why I hate asking for help, and the reason why I hate people SO much.
So yeah, THANK YOU.

You wanted help and guidance here in the forums? Just a reminder....while you blame all your pain on me.....this is the first message I sent to you, after the first time you posted. Hello RS123.....Thank you for posting. I'm so sorry about all you're going through. I realize that, perhaps due to your shyness, speaking up to someone, including a doctor, about your situation may be difficult, but it is a necessary step to take. Even if you consulted with someone in the past, and she was not the kind person you needed, I hope you won't let this keep you away from doing the most you can do to help yourself. She was only one person, and just because she was not the right fit for you doesn't mean it has to be that way. There are many caring physicians out there. So about your questions. What will happen? As would happen any time you go to an appointment with a doctor, they would want to know what's troubling you....what brought you in to see them. What questions will they ask? You need to trust that they will ask questions that help them to understand your situation, and you'll drive yourself crazy if you try to predict EXACTLY what they will say ~ask. Perhaps they will order lab tests (some doctors use them), or talk about the possibility of antidepressants, or therapy, now or in the future. And as to how you'll say things....you did fine here, so why not print it out and bring it with you, if you feel nervous that you won't be able to express your feelings ~thoughts. And one last thought for you....like all of us, doctors are individuals, having their own personalities, and not every patient clicks with every provider, so if you are at first unlucky and do not hit it off with the one you go to....as happened before with you, I pray you do not give up on seeking help. Try to focus on taking things one step at a time, and not worry any more than necessary about what will happen tomorrow. I know it's hard to do, but as many of us know, in the long run it's important to try. No one deserves to feel so bad, and there are many options out there to improve things. Best of luck to you with everything, and I hope you'll keep posting whenever you feel like it.....
