Feeling very angry and sad today. I am seeing a shrink now once a week and he tells me NOT to stop drinking and taking stuff ugg. He says i have to prove myself to him, and for now me just turning up for appointments is enough. I really dont know why he bothers to see me, or why i go really. He is NO help.

Sorry just feeling fed up with everything and my life is going down the tubes. I tried AA,, i didnt like it . Wish i knew what to do and all this drinking and using is messing me up no end.

I never had anyluck with shrinks neither,maybe if u can find one that has recovered from a problem themselves instead of just going from a textbook. Ive never meet one yet that seemed to understand were i was coming from.

What the ****? He actually told you not to stop? And that you have to prove yourself to him? I would fire his *** and get someone worth your time. Someone who doesn't have their head up their sphincter.

Hi angel, for one your shrink's an idiot and secondly i know where your comming from, i too am a drinker, i used to see a alcohol advisor he was an idiot as well. i tried AA but i felt they could not help me because they were all sober and i was still drinking, we never really connected, the more you drink and do other stuff the worse you are gonna feel about yourself, guilt, depression,tired ect, it's a visious circle my freind, have you thought about rehab? you don't say if you have any family?you need to be strong and commited if you wanna kick this thing, you could even do home detox if you have support at home. Go back to your GP my freind.
Hope this help's a little, keep us informed.

Thank you so much for your help and. advice. I been to a few rehabs already, last one was 2 yrs ago. My family i only see rarely, i am seperated and kids live with thier dad ufff addiction suxs .
I was waiting a longgg time as the local psyche unit WONT take me in,. Then i went to see them after been in ER and thats how i got the appt to see this pschye . Because of my past behaviours, this is what he said,, about me NOT to stop drinking etc, basically what i said in my post.
I am meant to see him today,,, i dont think i will go back , ugg i dunno what to do really. . On a positive note, to see him is free shrugs.
Sorry this answer is scatty

Heh. Well...I think it's sad that people are not treated with dignity. It shouldn't matter what your file says. Obviously you're not in his care because your life is all sunshine and daisies and he should really be more sensitive about that.
Whatever you decide to do, just don't give up. Lots of people have to keep going for help, or treatment, or whatever, over and over and over until it works. Don't let that stop you from keeping at it. I know it's hopeless. Boy do I ever. I also know that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel if you don't give up no matter what.

Thank you. I didnt go to the appointment, i phoned and made a excuse up, gives me a week to think what to do . System here isnt good at all,, less you pay for private, which i cant afford. Thank you again <3
