Im new to all this... but I have a psychiater who says I have maybe autisme because im cocky ... because I didn't wanted to be hospatilized and that I stick with my viewpoint ....-_-' maybe because it is my right and choose for my self what for treatment I want if I can choose.

also she said about my social phobia that it is single phobia but I have generalized social phobia .... she don't even seems to know the difference between the two.

what for psychiater is this that makes an assumption from less then 45min talking that I have maybe autisme... because I stick with my viewpoint , maybe she needs to get in the real world like wtf ...

Also she said that I don't could get goverment support because anxiety disorder is not that bad.....-_-' and that it is higly treatable , but now at the moment im not able to work normal ! so how the fu*** is it not that bad for goverment support and I see many other people in my country the netherlands that have goverment support because severe anxiety disorder.


Im overacting or is she just a bad psychiater and I need to change it.
It seems that she don't f*** whats she talking about.




Also im now therapy with this guy .... what you call therapy it isn't my real therapy but its just just every 1 or 2 weeks talking about the weather and how change some things in my life and talking about my anxiety problem ............. but but I need to tell him everything about anxiety !!! he doens't know what the **** he is talking about he does not know single thing about it... he even said : what is generalized anxiety disorder ????? everytime I need to explain why I can't do things......Like : I need to do everything perfect for my self on work and that it gives me very very bad tension , and then he raises his eye brown like : do you really think that has anything to do with with your anxiety ?? like he doens't know or believe it ... why should I speak with someone every 1 or 2 weeks about my my symptoms if he doens't know anything about it...



I need to note that he is not specialized in anxiety disorder like cognivitive therapy ......but I come for the threatment of my anxiety disorder not all the mess that comes with it because that is just a symptom of my social & generalized anxiety disorder everything else that has nothing to do with helping to reduce my fear is just crap.

Is is better to quit my psychiater and find a new one, and to quit with this therapy about talking about my life which is basically nonsense ?






Im also waiting very very long for my real therapy starts to happen its been months now , im not very positive about it all.




sorry for bad english

can you change it that easily ? or do I need to explain why etc. ?

Also I asked to day if she could give me some benzodiazepine not for weeks but just for a moments the anxiety is to bad like driving exam , speech etc.
but she gives me 5mg diazepam ....-_- and 5 tablets and that I don't need to ask her in her next month for more..... because its highly addictive.... But If I want 10 tablets of diazepam why shouldn't I just get that does she think im not sort of idiot ? Im 19 years old , do I need to ask like a little child why I shouldn't get more then just 5 tablets of diazepam which each one contains just 5mg which has absolutly almost zero effect on my anxiety level.
I need at least 15mg tablets , 5mg has zero effect. I can better drink one glass of whine then those tablets....

I know its highly addictive but it isn't my intenttion to use them everyday... just when anxiety is at his peak at moments like intense pressure



I CAN better ask you guys : is this normal at the psychiatry ? or is it just me who find it bad.

Hi Clown,

Personally I would stick with her and let her help you.

Stop resisting and let her help you, you've shown that your struggling and want help... well she's trying to so!!

The more you give the more she can help you-but don't expect results straight away-just doesn't work that way.

Put yourself in her shoes... why would you try to help someone who knows everything?

Sorry for sounding too harsh.

Darryl

No she in the first 45 min talking with for the first time she was only pushing me to let fill mutiple choice question about my child hood 0-5 years old... or else she couldn't make an anxiety disorder diagnose ...-_-' and that was pure bull**** a lie.

Okay Clown. Do you get this therapy for free, or do you have to pay for it? (And do you have the money or not?) All these things may affect your choices.

You can get better with natural means too, ideally in addition to the therapy, maybe some books can help you. A very good book on the basics of CBT is The Feeling Good Handbook by Dr David Burns. It's not especially for SA, for general anxiety too, and for depression. It helps you learn to combat your own negative thoughts...
There are specific books that help with shyness/SA too.
I really liked Meeting people is fun by Phyllis Shaw, and Dale Carnegie gives good advice in How to Win Friends and Influence People too..

Learn as much as you can about anxiety and mental health... Just getting overdrugged and getting government benefits may not solve all your problems, even if you maybe think so now..
You're young and you can still beat this... It's not like if you have it now you'll have it forever in the same degree.. It can get way better, and maybe come back again in a minor way.. And then you can get better again.. When you learn how to deal with it, you can get better again on your own or with help of friends or people here or your therapist, naturally..

You can try EFT (emofree.com) or TAT (tatlife.com)
Also check your nutrition - do you eat a lot of sugar/sweets or pre-prepared meals with artificial additives or drink soda pop drinks? Some people are also allergic/sensitive to some foods (like gluten/milk)... Have you observed any such changes?
You can improve with changing nutrition and adding more exercise in your life.

Learn about autism and asperger's and see if they could be the case... Some people can only have a minor form of asperger's.. It's no big deal, I may have some signs too, and some other people on this site..
Even if you don't have it, learning about it can help you understand others better..

Also learn about any drugs, google up their effects and side effects.. You do NOT want to be addicted to benzos or any other meds.. Some people on other forums complained very much how bad it got after trying to stop medications..

Psychiatrists too often just prescribe meds, from what I hear...
You can get better with natural ways too..
