You sound like it isn't even really a problem and since you can't even get ssri you're probably just an attention seeking faggot

So get a new one.
The customer is always right. Especially in the medical field.
If you don't like the answer you get there's always somebody in line who will give you what you want.

Look faggot, this isnt a fucking pissing contest as to who has the most justification to be unhappy.
And while it may well be the case that I am just a whiny attention-seeking little bitch, I still think I'd benefit from some help

Thanks for the tip. Although my only issue is that chaining doctors until I get a successful hit is gonna cost a fuckin bomb.

If you are not really doing anything, try to get creative or learn some fun skills, like music, drawing, programming. Use that time well. What worries you have to prevent you from doing it?

>>37510286
Less than you'd think, assuming you have insurance.
Especially once you know how to answer their questions.
It's really not hard to get medications, a doctor who isn't willing to toss you a simple SSRI is pretty fucking stringent. Any doc-in-the-box will throw pills at you because it's fucking easy and solves most peoples """problems""".

If you ever get an officiated diagnosis then find a private practice nurse practioner for prescriptions, I see one every 3 months for my bipolar meds and HUGE fucking adderall stash.

why the fuck wouldn't your doctor prescribe you a starting dose of an ssri? call up a real psyciatrist and ask if they are accepting new patients

while meds aren't the only thing you'll need, anon, i'd still recomend them as the best starting point

I'm forced to take an anti psychotic and it sucks. Psychiatry is in its primitive stages. Maybe some benzos would help you but if you abuse them, you'd get a pysical dependancy and would go into terrible withdrawal without them. SSRI's and anti psychotics rarely work and cause more harm than good in most people. They cause you to feel horrible feelings and want to die. They'll make you freak the fuck out and then the psychiatrists will really have you. Say that the medicine made you freak out all you want but the doctor will just say that your "condition" caused it and put you on more meds and you might at that point have a court order saying you have to take them.

Just irrational shit. Mainly I feel like I will never be able to reach the point where the amount of effort I put in justifies my skill level. I will always be a mediocre drawer, programmer, musician, poet, etc and I figure 'why should I bother trying?'

In my country a doctor can't prescribe you SSRIs or antipsychotics, you need to see a psychiatrist. But to see a psychiatrist you need a referral from a doctor who mostly just direct you to

instead of giving you a referral

Fuck
Is this the case with Adderall as well? I heard it can deplete serotonin levels
