How could I get antidepressents and shy medicine without having therapy?

Question

B/c therapists are scary creatures. Is there anyway I could get fixed like that without a shrink. Sorry to all shrinks but my motto is trust noone. Not even family members.

I think about suscide too alot since 8th grade to be exast.

I'm 21 on a teenager anymore but I wish I was so badly. I don't even know what I want to do for a career anymore. I used to think I was a great writer but the publishers I wrote to this earlyer December have never sent me any repliys. So I guess I'm just nothing.

No good doctor would have you taking any kind of medication without talking with you at least a few times.

The reality is you are more likely to be able to help your problems with therapy, with or without medication. Medications carry serious risks, and you would need someone to follow up carefully.

The right therapist is not scary at all, and if you that's what you think you need to overcome at least that much and just talk to one of them. Find a woman if you're more comfortable with women or a man if you think you could talk better with a man. When you first meet them figure out if they seem to be saying "normal" things that kind of make sense to you, and give them a chance.

It is entirely possible that your family members aren't trustworthy (I have no way to know that). A good therapist, though, can generally be trusted. Once in a while someone could run into a therapist who is a jerk, but that's pretty obvious soon after you meet them.

Please trust me (a stranger but an adult with good sense) on this: If you're young (or even if you're not) and you've been having suicidal thoughts and you feel you cannot trust your family and you're shy and depressed, etc., obviously, you haven't been able to manage all these issues on your own. You need some to help you.

Your family is not able to help you, and you don't trust them - so that means its either you on your own or you and a therapist together when it comes to solving some of the issues. You haven't been able to do it alone. Your only option may be taking a chance and finding a therapist.

If you don't like the first one you can find another, and if you don't like the second one you may want to consider that its you and you just need to work with the therapist whether or not you like them.

You just need to come around to thinking this: "I cannot fix the problems myself; so, trust them or not, I have to give a therapist a try." It would probably take a while for therapy to work, but the sooner you start the sooner you'll feel better.

One thought: If you're young there is the chance that part of your problem is that your brain isn't finished developing yet. Young people can be prone to depression because they can view the world differently. There is a chance that this could be part of your problem too, and only a therapist would be able to tell you how much of it is your age and how much isn't.

Finally: You know, sometimes we may not be all that sure we can trust any kind of doctor; but then we may have a heart attack or break a leg or get an infection that needs medication to clear up; and we realize the point may not be whether we trust the doctor but may instead be that we have no choice but to take a chance and trust the doctor (because if we don't we don't get fixed). You don't have to trust a therapist to give him/her a chance to try to help you.

Anti-depressant do not fix problems that are psychologically based they mask symptoms. Medication is a small part of healing. Counseling and Therapy are more important then you think. Sounds as if trust is the first thing you need to work on. If you have no trust in others it is a good indication you don't trust yourself either..

Therapy does several things it establishes a trusting relationship with at least one person,even when you can't trust yourself.
