What's the worst thing a psychiatrist has said to you?... [View all]

Maybe worst isn't the right word as it preassumes that what was said was in and of itself a negative thing. What I mean is of the things that psychiatrists have said to you what had the largest immediate negative impact, made you feel the worst, regardless of whether it was the truth or not or was or was not the right thing to say.

Had my second visit with my new psychiatrist today and I'm not feeling that good afterwards but I'm not sure if it's him or me. I get the feeling that he's of the opinion that I'm a big 30 yr old man child who needs to grow up and there is indeed some truth to this. He said that he will decide at our next visit what form of therapy I should take, talk or group therapy of some sort seems to be at the top but he did make the point of saying that it would not be "comfortable". I believe he said this cause I have the habit of running away to comforting things all my life, and hence never having grown up properly. Anyway not sure what to do right now. Like previous psychs he seems little condescending at times and I get the feeling I'm being viewed as an immature child. But then in some ways I think that really is my problem. :'(

Wanting to drink it still a big issue, I DID have some to drink the other night again. Sigh anyway.....
