What do I say to the psychologist?
Question:
If i'm alone, there are times when I cry uncontrollably for a long time and I think of all the things that are making me sad. Sometimes I end up doing things that are really harmful to myself.
When I'm around people, I don't cry at all-have never told anyone f2f any problem or bad feelings, and when i even THINK of talking to a psychologist, I can't remember ONE reason, sadness, or problem that made me cry all those times. I guess it's a defense thing because I don't want to be weak. So I always am in a good mood around others, but it's not ALL pretend because most of the time I FEEL good.But what's the point of going if I won't say anything's wrong? I know that no matter what I think i'll TRY to say, I'll end up telling jokes and complementing the drapes.. Still, I want help. SO.what do I say if i go?
Answers:
It sounds like you have a chemical problem, not one actually caused by bad things in your life--this is the type of problem that there is lots of great help for!
Its a common problem too, so you shouldn't be worried about that. You are normal, you just need a little help.
If you think you won't be able to tell the psychologist, then write it out in a letter before you go, and just hand it to her/him when you get there.
Good luck!

Go and tell your psychologist to be patient.
They know what to do.
Go. Let down your defenses and cry. You will talk when you are ready.
Good luck and blessings.
I would love to awn er this, but I gotta go. E-maill me. I will try to help later. I've been in therapy for seventeen years. Holy crap! You should tell him/her exactly what you said here. If you think you should go, then chances are, you probabl should. It couldn't hurt. I feel the same way sometimes, but haven't gotten the courage to go to a psychologist. Something about being alone, I think of things that make me cry, things that I'm scared of and sometimes I get so sad and scared, that it's a major ordeal to even leave the house. Having someone you can talk to about things, openly and honestly definately would help. Email me if you'd like someone to talk to, or just some moral support.
Please answer to yourself these questions: 1. Do I really feel comfortable with my psychologist? 2. Do I really trust him or her? 3 Can I write a letter to him or her, telling what happens to me? If your answers are no, you must go on to another psychologist. Good Luck!
