I can really relate to you. I had a similar experience with a so-called Psychologist. The psychologist asked me what was bothering me. I told her and started crying. Her words to me were "Get a grip." I'll never forget that experience. I thought she was absolutely callous and decided at that time she was not the right psychologist for me. I left there feeling worse than when I came in. I informed my Primary Care Physician that I would not be seeing that psychologist and told her why. Right now my Primary Care Physician is prescribing my antidepressants to me because of that experience, but when visiting my PCP time is blocked only for medical -- not emotional -- problems. In any case, I know I need to see a psychologist, but I have a problem opening up to someother other than my PCP. I'm also afraid if I really let myself go that I would end up in a mental hospital or some other similar facility.
