I am here because I am scared to get a psychologist. I am concerned because I am scared they will tell me that I am over reacting. Or that my thoughts are wrong and that I am feeling things from an incorrect way of thinking. I don't think they would be mean about it or anything. I'm just afraid that my fears will be confirmed.
I went through a very difficult time where my parents got a divorce. I was closer to my mom than anyone else for 18 years but then she became some sort of unfeeling, lying without regret, player of emotions. She didn't care what she did to get the most out of the divorce. And it was so confusing and upsetting that in the end I felt nothing. I haven't felt anything for about four years now. But sometimes I'll just have random angry bursts, trying to get some sort of a reaction. But whenever I contact her, even if I'm not angry, she is so good at making me feel like everything is my fault and like I'm crazy that I wonder if maybe I really am just overreacting and being angry for no reason. No one was there for me either while it was happening, even though I was very open about how I felt and I tried every option I thought I had. Lots of people just basically told me to suck it up. So I guess I have no reason to believe that anyone would be there for me and it makes me feel even more concerned that I am just being ridiculous. I feel like I'm just saying this all with the underlying hope that I have legitimate feelings. But I might just be terribly confused and I don't know how to handle discovering that I really am just wrong about everything. |

I don't think you are wrong about anything. One thing I would do when you see a psychiatrist is tell them just what you have told us here.

Yes I've been scared as far as I can remember. I need answers not a pill. I need a friend that doesn't judge me. I'm gay and completely unraveling.

Do not be afraid to open up with your psychologist. But you need to choose a psychologist that you trust.
