Have any of you seen a psychologist before? How did it go? Did it help?
I'm considering seeing one. I feel like a nervous wreck, lost in a sea of opportunity that horrifies me. I don't even know what I would be after, but I don't know what else to do. It would be nice to hear about what experiences all of you have.

compulsively lied through every one hour session. It wasn't too bad, did absolutely nothing though.

I think I should see one but I don't know how to make it happen.
My psychologist insulted me when I didn't want to listen to his literally subjective viewpoint on drugs, didn't listen or take my religion seriously because he was mormon, and lastly was impressed when I passed a series of tests no one he's given it to before has done.
All in all psychologists use modern methods to determine things but there is a fine-line between subjectivity and objectivity in psychology.
It's pretty easy to be diagnosed with things you don't have since they're looking for it. I really hate modern day psychiatry and psychology.

Probably because you compusively lied in every session. That's like going to a physician and lying about your health habits, then complaining that they don't fix anything, you stupid fuck. You wasted your own time and theirs.
OP: went to a psychiatrist, told them the full truth, got the right medicine, got myself a counselor, quality of life massively improved. Do it.

Sounds as if you didn't feel like you needed it. At least I hope so.

I'm sorta clueless about this, too. I guess I just gotta start calling a psych office or something.

Jeez, that sounds harrowing. Sorry to hear that you had that kind of experience. Did you almost get diagnosed with something you're sure you didn't have?

Oh, that is great to hear! Maybe it's a psychatrist I should I should be looking for? I should probably look up the difference.
