Anyone ever been to a psychiatrist for whatever reason?
Results good or bad?
Results good or bad?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Psychiatrist... do it or no?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Never in a million years.
Everyone is ****ed up. Unless you have a major disorder like schizophrenia or severe depression, I see no reason for it.
Most people become psychologists and and psychiatrists in an aim to try and understand themselves half the time. Its why women flock to the profession. You also have liberal, feminist propaganda driving much of the research that is used as part of their study. At the end of the day, you are going to be given advice and insight from a professional that was educated in a university. And most university social science faculties are run by feminist, commie scum buckets anyway.
Chemicals are one thing. The rest of it is a crock of ****.

If you need to see a mental health professional go see a clinical psychologist who will get to the root of whatever is bothering you and help you find a solution for it rather than just tossing pills at you as psychiatrists tend to do.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Psychiatry today is more about being a soldier for the pharmaceutical agenda than actually helping someone through their problems.
This is why I did not pursue my goal of being a Clinical Psychiatrist. I don't want big brother telling me what dosage will "cure" someone's problem.
I've always been one to find out why I feel and think the way I do and, if there's an issue, solve the core problem instead of merely blazing through the symptom.
Not everyone can do this so, in your shoes, I would PM one of the more enlightened fellows here to help narrow down YOUR problem and see if a different perspective helps clarify what's wrong.
Then go get the appropriate help.

Karma brother you're dead on. I went to a psych for a good portion of my childhood to "manage" my add with ritalin.KarmaSutra said:
Every month I would go there, talk a bit, he would talk to my mom, and give her a new dosing for the medicine. We kept playing with dosing, times, etc to somehow "fix" the "problem"
I guess it depends on wat your problem is. If you can afford it however or your insurance covers it, discussing ur issues with a can't possibly do much harm.
In fact for many on this board seeing a pschiatrist might be a better way to spend their money than on worthless bootcamps.
