What I actually hear when people tell me to see another psychiatrist

girljanitor:

duelswords:

“I know you’ve been abused by psychiatrists before but you need to know that not ALL of them are like that. You need to put yourself in more abusive situations to get the mental health that you REALLY need. How are you going to get treatment if you’re not willing to get abused more? I know 6 out of the 7 mental health practitioners you saw were so awful that they made you worser than when you were receiving no help but you have to KEEP getting abused until you find one that won’t abuse you. After all, the most important thing that actually matters right now is to get you “help” whether you want it or not. So who cares if you get abused again? It’s just abuse. You can go through it again to get the medication you need. You being able to function and act “normal” in front of me is more important to me than your mental health.”
