Honestly mfm, based on your posts about friends and relationships in this thread, you need professional help as well.
So I’m told. I don’t trust them though; they’ll probably just try to medicate me. Which I don’t need.
Don’t see a psychiatrist, see a psychologist or general therapist. They can’t prescribe medications. Even if you see a psychiatrist who can, if you tell them at the beginning that you don’t want to use medication except as an absolute last resort, a good shrink will listen.
Also don’t get discouraged if the first one you go to isn’t right for you. It can take time to find a therapist that fits your needs.
Which reminds me, I should probably call my old therapist and see if I can start going again…
Yes, to CA you must listen.
