All psychologist want to talk about is my drug use
    #24924251 - 01/18/18 08:41 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

Every time I see a psych all they want to talk about is me quitting drugs even though I have a ton of other problems I really need to address like my best friend dying and my severe social anxiety/depression. It's fucking bullshit I know drug are bad and I shouldn't do them, but take a wild guess why I use drugs.

People come up with a myriad of excuses for altering their brain chemistry.

Let's be honest. You do drugs because drugs make you feel good, right?

Not because someone died or you're sad or anxious. That's all a normal part of life

If you can't be honest with your motivations to get loaded, you'll stay miserable.

I use kratom for anxiety and sometimes other drugs for recreational purposes. I wanna eventually quit the kratom but it's the least of my worries right now.

Mostly imo they need you to quit the drugs you're taking  to make room for all the ones they want to put you on.  It's a money/power thingy. :pope:

they need him to quit drugs because drugs may hinder the entire process of therapy. drugs are like therapy for dumb and lazy people. who needs to deal with their problems or talk about their insecurities when you can just cut a line or light up a joint and feel alright? either run to drugs to handle your life, or run to a therapist. don't run to both.

we all gotta face it one day.

drugs are for fun. not for therapy. if you are medicating depression, anxiety, or insecurity with drugs, youre doing it wrong. drugs are to make life fun. not to make all your negative emotions go away. I guarantee if you stop self-medicating with kratom and other shit, you'll see massive improvements, and I think your therapist knows that. shes not gonna be able to do much to help you if youre just gonna run right back home and down some kratom to instantly feel like everything is ok

Another viewpoint is that the main goal of a psychiatrist is to help you function (and fit) in society. Drugs don't fit into our society (unfortunately) so, step one is to eliminate the drugs.

Fuck psychologists.


I have a friend, 30ish, who is just kind of an outsider who does odd jobs and looks for settlements and the like. It's totally that he hasn't grown up all the way, but dude goes to a shrink one day and now he feels like some crazy childhood trauma was recovered, but he can't name what it is. There is a weird terrible foreboding effect that he takes on when he talks about it that at the very least makes it seem like whatever happened is being exaggerated. Its some michelle remembers shit. Either way, fucking doctor prescribed him KLONOPIN for his nerves. Guy just sits at home listening to mumble rap. I don't think doctors give two shits if your on drugs as long as it's theirs.

Dude, my friend that is strung out on Klonopin is pretty much the definition of a recreational drug user. I have a friend who negotiates getting benzos from his dentist while wearing a tye-dye tee shirt.

theyre doctors. sometimes they pin people as the type who can avoid recreational use of anxiety medication. ive seen klonopin work wonders for military ptsd. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the doctor is wrong, or irresponsible, or both. But the reasoning they want you to stop taking drugs is not because theyre trying to sell you more. It's because drugs tend to cause much more problems then they solve, and drug use often goes hand in hand with depression and anxiety. If you say a depressed and anxious drug user needs help, the first step generally will be to advise them to quit drugs. Just makes sense

Maybe your drug use has no role at all in your problems. Maybe quitting will just make it worse. But it isn't safe to assume that.

I'm no psychologist but I wouldn't advise taking drugs to cope with the lose of a friend, either.. It's not about drugs being bad its about drugs not being a fix to your problems, and having a negative emotional effect in the long run.

Sorry to hear about your friend man

It is not a good point.

The psychologist, like I said, most likely wouldn't prescribe him anything recreational. It would likely be mood stabilizer, or something along the lines of that, considering he is open about his drug abuse with her. Even in the unlikely case she does trust him a benzo prescription, that is much different then him just doing the recreational drugs he does however often or in whatever doses he does now.

I'm not saying psychologists are the answer. I don't think anyone should ever go to a psychologist. I think dealing with our problems ourselves and with loved ones and friends is almost always best. I'm just trying to rationalize the thoughts of the psychiatrist, since you guys seem to get the wrong idea about her intentions.

As someone who has been busting my ass for the past three years in non-profit mental health agencies for a wage that barely keeps my bills paid I find this blanket statement out of touch with reality and incredibly fatalistic.

.....If you really want to feel comfortable that you're talking to someone who isn't in it for the money go speak with a psychologist at a reputable non-profit..  It's not like as soon as you get your degree and certifications you instantly begin to scheme how you're going to wring people for all the cash they are willing to hand over.  That's ridiculous to say, especially in something as serious as mental health. 

A few bad eggs ruin the reputation of many.

It does seem like reaching for the low hanging fruit a bit though doesn't it? It strikes me that a good therapist would look at the causes of which the drugs are a symptom.

When I spent fifteen months in therapy I was very lucky to have a very good therapist. She helped me immeasurably. I was in a very dark place in my life at the time and was doing a lot of drugs, and whilst she would advise me, gently, to tone down my use she never pushed the matter nor made me uncomfortable about it.

Instead, she helped me to look deeply at what was driving it, and thus, I cleaned up in my own time.

Doctors do not use drugs to "cure" anxiety. They use them to "treat it. Penicillin cures an infection while antihistamines are used to treat the symptoms.

There is no quick fix cure for anxiety...it will be lessened over time by some hard inside work on your part and maybe some intense therapy with someone you trust.

You seem to have a very bleak perception of me. Most likely because my opinion differs from yours.

That doesnt mean that I have a bleak perception of humanity, nor does it mean I have a bad work ethic. I believe its human instinct to be selfish and greedy.
In a situation where it's just someones job to "help you" and they would rather be home watching TV but they have to do this job they hate for money.... I just dont see that being as productive as getting help from people who actually care about you.

Im probably wrong go. Go see your theripist who would rather be at home, Disregard your family and friends and rely on a complete stranger who is, of course, making way more money than their qualifications are worth.

Pretty much what he said.

You clearly have a pessimistic view on people. You need to interact with more humans and develop a more realistic view on society and the people around you. Might be surprised to find out not everyone with a job is half-assing it and fucking people over cuz theyre bored

Just because I hate people and how I have been treated by them in my life doesnt mean I dont wish they were better and I dont have hope for an "awakening" of the people. Some kind of realization that we all need to be nice to each other, not cruel and distant.
I have hope for a lost, confused, MEAN humanity. Not a "bleak perception"

If I didnt care about people all... That would be a bleak perception. I have morals and I have respect. I have hope.
Remember you can only hate something you once cared about. Otherwise it would just be indifference.

I also never said every single therapist in the world is bad. What I am saying is that people that care about you will always be a more solid choice than someone who is profiting for helping you. This shit is just common fucking sense.


If I am entitled to my opinions than why arent they welcome here? see now youre contradicting yourself because my opinion has most likely made you angry and youre not thinking clearly anymore.

So uhhh Keep your shitty, jaded insults to yourself instead of flaming me for having a different perspective.

i didn't say to my psy that i smoke week, take mushrooms peyote ayahuasca... that's not her problem :grin:

psy can't understand that they are medicines for me so i won't loose my time by trying to explain this to them.. because she will think that weed is a problem and no.. for me weed is my everyday medecine, it helps against fibromyalgia pains, helps me to relax well (and yeah i like to travel with my mind that's not a crime :grin:)

i just speak to my psy of my everyday problem since i have the asperger syndrom...

At first you all need to tell psychiatrists and psychologist apart. The former are doctors who sometimes do therapy but mostly rely on solely pushing meds down their patients throats.
Psychologists however have not studied medicine but really have spent a lot of time with non-pharma therapy, often know more about the psyche and CANT PRESCRIBE ANYTHING.

Thats why you should not visit a psychiatrist if you dont just want meda jammed down your throat that usually are rather harmful in the long run.
I have witnessed that its almost always doctors who take the easy way out, dont Listen and drug you, often mindlessly.

It also is a really stupid claim to say its common sense that someone who knows you can help you better than a real therapist, a psychologist.
What do you expect your neighbor who works construction to know about therapy and changing yourife for the better? Yeah, jack shit.
Thats not an opinion to me, its obvious nonsense.
I understand all the hate against pill pushers but then for gods sake dont visit one.

Its unfortunate that some therapists are too focussed on drug use.
While I think that the odd mdma trip or psychedelics once a month is not a problem, Im afraid benzos and weed very very much hinder therapy if done more than once a week.
Especially the former makes it impossible to gain access to a patients inner world.

And how about getting to know your therapist if hes such a bad strange capitalist to you?

No its not. 95% of the time you don't need an expert at the human mind to deconstruct every thought and insecurity you have to make you feel better. Most of the time you just need some support from some good friends and family. To say that's nonsense is just ridiculous. You need to get some better friends if you think going to a therapist is best most of the time.

I see so many people these days (mostly middle aged, granted) that go to therapy just for the sake of going to therapy. They just have average everyday stress and anxiety that every human on the planet has but give their income to a therapist to tell them shit they likely already know. It's just a cold interaction. Transaction, really. But just getting simple support and care from a human who genuinely cares about you and wants you in their life is almost always more helpful then handing someone $200 so you can vent then leave.

Sometimes you're caught in patterns and cycles that keep you from reaching out to friends or relatives. Removing yourself from social interaction and preventing yourself from getting the support you need is common when depressed or otherwise mentally struggling.

People don't really know how to offer support either. They often play down the issues, tell you to 'just get out more'. There is also the feeling of shame, of being a burden to those you love. Mental health issues are commonly stigmatized, which leads to feeling misunderstood.

So while support from friends or relatives is preferential, it is certainly not always available (or qualitative).
