What if the doctors haven't helped?

ok heres the jist… I cut my self and am bulimic. my mum’s seen my arms and legs and starts to break down..so I’ve gone for help… for her !! I’ve tried sooo hard to stop (and only just hanging on ..). I saw a doctor who refered me to a hospital. I went to the hospital to day (after waiting a month and a half) and the doctor turns around and says group therapy.. im like “ok.. could you give me somthin to take you know drug wise so I can think straight?” and she goes no! and I said I cant talk to people and she just looks at me! so its been a TOTAL waist of ov time and I.. I just CANT do it any more !! can some one please talk some sense!! -Saint XXX

Answer #1

hey listen. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and these are two of the symptoms of the illness. have you considered getting a referral from a family doctor to see a psychiatrist? gp’s will not usually prescribe any sort of medication for that kind of thing. go get a referral and see a shrink. even if you dont have bpd it will help you get a better handle on whats going on inside you and why you feel the need to do these things. medication is not always the answer tho so be warned. it doesnt always work for everyone. plus the advantage of seeing a shrink is whatever he suggests you DO NOT have to do it. like if he/she says group therapy you can always say no (actually for that matter you dont have to listen to a general practitioner either but whatever) anyways I hope this helps. good luck

Answer #2

Oh sorry. This advice was only about the cutting part. not bel. I never met anyone who is or were. If I have then they never told me.

Answer #3

Well I have some friends that were in the same place as you not to long ago and all they did was just hang out at my house often and stayed around friends and people they could trust and now they seem better than they used to. They improved but they are not going to just heal overnight so yea. Take some time and find some good friends is what I am saying. But if you can’t talk to people without having problems then they is a minor problem. You just have to find someone who is open and will start the talking.
