I've been dealing with depression since middle school, however I havn't had family support to go to a psychiatrist and get treated for it. Now i'm in college and I could go to the health center and get antidepressants with out my parents really having a say in it. The problem is i'm terrified. I feel a lot of shame for being depressed and im scared that the second i talk to a therapist or whatever i'm just going to cry. I did see a therapist once for OCD and she made fun of my complusions, so ever since then i'm scared of seeing a therapist again. I wish i could just walk in, get meds, and walk out but i know they make you talk to a psychologist before being referred to a psychiatrist. Being on anti depressants would greatly improve my life because i end up missing a lot of school due to depression. Has anyone had experience with a school psychiatrist? Any way i can get over my fear of seeing a psychologist?
