    Do you think it's possible for a psychiatrist to use their skills in a way to manipulate and use their patients? Or do you think they could and would? Ingot a feeling my psych is up to some funny business but I want to be the one that's on top of it.

    Yeah.
    Read Running with Scissors. True story

    But even if you're wrong about it, it seems like it would be important to feel comfortable with your psychiatrist and for them to be someone you trust

  10. When I was in Albuquerque my psychiatrist got charged with fraud. I went for an appointment one day and the doors were chained shut.

    I'm saying this seriously, although only God/s know if you are... :p

    but I'm telling you as someone that was on and in the bare outskirts of that type of psychiatry... YES, beyond the shadow of a doubt, a psychiatrist could (easily) use their skills in a way to manipulate the use their patients. Yes Yes Yes

    ________________________________________


    Running with Scissors was/is an excellent read @Meliai. Its also unreal to think that there are parents that would not just have allowed but damn encourage/d their kids into a lifestyle that is not one's own!!! Lord God!!!! I hope that makes sense. That was both a very funny and sad and smart book. I'll have to reread it now. lol I rarely do that, but that's my kind of mood.

    Psychiatrist but she also talks through my emotional psyche and also prescribes me my meds.

    Oh I do not think it's book or movie worthy lol just I pick up on a few things. I've seen her several times now and she's always basically encouraging me to do things I enjoy etc. So after pool yesterday I was excited to tell her that since I've been on the medication my mood and concentration has been a lot better and I'm playing pool a lot better which is enjoyable.

    Anyway I don't really want to get into it all publically but I just find that I think, that she thinks I can be easily manipulated by the certain triggers I've already opened up to her about, and although I do trust her, I found some things yesterday a bit... Like... I'm sitting there like "I know what's going on here...." lol and I am not sure if I should continue to let her believe she has some sort of control of me, or what? Because I think she doesn't realise or know I think this yet, or I'm just being paranoid. I don't know.

    It's like I find her doing things and saying things to manipulate me into being more coercive or comfortable into opening up or something. I dunno. I guess that's their job?

    He's written a few other books too that are just aa funny..and sad lol. He wrote a book about his alcoholism and time in Rehab called Dry. And a couple of other books that are a collection of short essays about things that have happened to him. And also a book about his father called Wolf at the Table, which isnt funny at all, its the only one where he drops his humor. You can tell his father was the most tramautic part of his childhood, which is crazy considering how bad his childhood was

    I remember when I first read Running with Scissors. Such an eye-opener for me, at the time.

    This is not a diss to Irm but often people with true mental illness are threatened by psychology. It challenges their view they are in control so they tend to hate the person trying to help.

    I had a good friends go through several since at the first meeting they would be honost with her. This turned into two things

    1. they want to poison me
    2. they are jealous of me
