I'd get another psychiatrist. There is a yin/ yang in life and you've been getting the
doom and gloom picture from your psychiatrist. See one who has positive things to
direct you toward. I suppose that psychiatrists may develop their thinking based
on the many people with psychiatric problems whom they see and try to evaluate. It
must affect their judgment in some negative way for many. But that's all it is--a
negative judgment and you don't need that, for sure. And, as another has said,
they are not prophets.

Your purpose in therapy is to find the positive in life that will enable you to live
comfortably and happily. It's there for you with the right help.

Take care of yourself.
