Not solving my problem

[Xen_Antares]

Okay here I go again! Recently have been in a major funk that I can not seem to crawl myself out of, naturally I seek help from Mental Health Professionals, this seems to have only made things worse. I was hoping to go speak to the doctor about the problems I was having and hoping he would sit down with me and talk them out, give me ideas and pointers, etc. Do I get any of that? No, I talk to him for about a total of 30 minutes (if that) and he gives me a subscription for a drug, and tells me that my blood tests reveal a chemical imbalance or something along these lines, and I need to take these pills before I take a nose dive and perhaps become suicidal.

I dont feel suicidal, I just need some help, not drugs. I take the drugs, I get all high, of course I dont care about those problems anymore, Im buzzing, but the problems arent going anywhere, so what is the next solution for these folks? Heres more drugs, lets up the dosage. To me this is like having a piece of glass stuck in your figner, rather than remove the glass and let the wound heal, they just keep changing the bandages.

Okay so I might need the medicine, I wont argue that, but medicine alone doesnt do anything for anyone, except give them a high. Why can I not get anyone to sit down face to face with me and talk? Why does everyone suggest I go to someone else, and then finally just give me drugs? Am I the only one this happens too?

Blood tests don't reveal chemical imbalances in the brain...

I would seek another doctor ASAP. No doctor should just put pills in your hand and shove you out the door without at least giving you the option of therapy. Sadly though, if this is a family practitioner, that is what they do all too often.

I dont know what in the world he was talking about with the blood tests. He went on something about my past history and bouts of depression, blood tests, chemical imbalances, etc. I was standing there just like in English doc!

These are the guys who treat our veterans. All too often I hear veterans claiming they didnt get their drugs, they want their drugs. My friend had a similiar experience as me, they listen to us for a few minutes, spend more time typing on the computer than we spent talking, give us drugs, and send us away!

There is a section on this forum for depression/anxiety.

I would seriously either find a new doctor, or call your doctor back and tell him you want to get into counseling, and don't get off the phone until he gives you a referral. If that doesn't work, call your insurance company and ask for a list of counselors in your town.

The ladies here will disagree with me, but you don't need pills. Doctors love to hand out pills to dump you down.

You like the same movies I do so that makes you half right and not all crazy. I am worried about the lib dem although...lol

Got a hobby? You may need something most men. Acceptance and feeling of respect.
Here is how I deal with life. I demand respect, but do not care who likes me. Worried about being liked or disliked? You will find that not everyone will love you or even like you. I can like you and if you need to just talk they say I have big ears.

No kidding you want to talk I will listen and I have been told by doctors that I should not have so many opinions and I shouldn't think I am right all the time. I told him I did make mistake years a go when I sold my 58 corvette for a family car...Lost both.

Pm me if you need to. I promise you I have heard it all and there may be only one thing wrong with you. Some one to care enough to listen.

I love movies. Have you ever seen a "long kiss good night" With Geane Davis and Samual L Jackson. Love that movie
