Orientation was terrible :o


inferiority

1,223 views

the first orientation today for my lil bro and sis was fun, met up with some friends and stuff, but the second one today for my class.......

the second one was terrible. this was the orientation for the class that i didn't even sign up for, "Child Psychology/Education". As soon as i walked into the class with my sister and dad, they all automatically thought that my sister was taking the class and were sort of shocked when they figured out that a male was enrolled into it. throughout the entire orientation i was getting mean and negative stares from just about everyone else there, including the teacher.

later on i talked with her one on one about being the only male in the class, and it really seems that she discriminates against all males when it comes to these things.

at one point in this lecture, i was just so freaked out that my entire body felt numb and i felt stress and panic building up all inside of me.

i still want to try to get out of that class when the time comes... but at the same time i want to prove that teacher wrong. i know this isn't a reason to stay in it, and i am still going to try to transfer out, but still :o:D:o

Sue, I've been really busy these last few days. Also, I was so used to Digger that it was weirder NOT seeing Digger. So naturally, once he came back, nothing seemed out of the ordinary :D

Well, I need to go to bed. Goodnight.

I found out yesterday that I'm seeing both my psychologist and my psychiatrist tomorrow, so I'm going to see if I can have my meds raised.

The only issue I see with that, though, is that I was feeling pretty suicidal last Sunday, and also for a few minutes this morning. I don't know how my body would react to more meds. Furthermore, I CAN'T bring myself to tell my psychiatrist anything. He still doesn't know about my pedophilia. Not to mention the fact that my mother stays in the room for these sessions, as they're only about 10 minutes long. So, I don't want to tell him I've been feeling suicidal.

I'll be seeing my psychologist later in the day, and I do plan on telling him everything. I don't really know what's going to happen. I still don't exactly have a plan, but I did think about overdosing...

mm--I don't understand how you can feel suicidal for just a few minutes. That seems weird to me. Were you actually wanting to kill yourself or was it more like depressive, not wanting to live feelings?

I don't want to ask her to sit out because she'll know that something's up. She may either think I'm suicidal, or she may think that I've started with the CP again. Truthfully, I don't think she actually realizes that I've given it up. She's asked me probably four or five times fairly recently if I was downloading any. Each time, I tell her no.

Plus, my mother actually helps me out a bit in the sessions. While it's not therapy, my psychiatrist still asks me a bunch of questions about how I'm doing and if I'm improving. He still thinks I just have a regular porn addiction and internet addiction. So he thinks that the time I spend online is on porn sites, when actuality, it's almost all here. Naturally, I run into problems when he asks if my computer time is diminishing at all. Last time, my mother actually lied for me. She knows that I don't want to tell him about my problems, and she doesn't believe that there's any need to.

It was part of my morning depression thing. I was thinking about overdosing again. I guess the reason it went away was because I usually start to feel better later in the morning.

mm, pardon my french, but that's really fucked up. You ever think your mother is sitting in and lying for you because she's embarassed about your issues? (did you say int he past that she refers patients to this psychiatrist, so she knows him?). Under no circumstances is your mother helping you by lying to to your psychiatrist and having you do different med doses without consulting him. Your mother should sit out and you need to tell him your actual problems. He is judging what to do with yout meds based on what he believes your problems to be. If you are making that all up, I don't see how this is going to work out for you.

Were you actually thinking seriously about it or was it more of a passing thought? Because I mean, I have passing thoughts like that all the time, but it's quite different to be seriously planning on killing yourself.

My mother has actually been very understanding about my problems. I mean VERY understanding. I don't think it's a thing about embarrassment. I actually don't know if she still refers patients to him or not. They used to work together years ago, but I don't know if they still have any professional relationship or not. She simply knows that I DO NOT want to say my issues again to someone else. What's important is that he knows that I'm depressed, he knows that I'm anxious, he knows I'm battling SOME form of porn addiction, and he knows that I suffer from obsessive thoughts. Whether he thinks it's one form of porn addiction or another, it's still an addiction. I'm not taking meds to help control my addiction. I'm taking them to make me feel better so that I'm not so depressed and anxious. Mostly, it's worked really well. I see no need to do anything more.

I'd say that it was passive, but not as much as usual. Usually, I just feel that I don't want to be alive and all that crap, but today, it was "I don't know how much longer I can take this, I'm evil, I deserve to die, if I were to kill myself, I'd probably OD [etc etc etc.]" So no, it wasn't nearly as bad as Sunday, but it wasn't totally passive either.

mm....your mother is not a psychiatrist. I really don't think her helping you lie to your psychiatrist is in your best interest. Especially too, if you feel that with her in the room you can't even tell him all the things going on. I see you rationalizing it away, but it really isn't ok.

Oh, and before I forget to mention, my mother has offered to tell my psychiatrist about my pedophilia. She said that the only downside is that she doesn't think she knows my situation too well. She just keeps saying that she doesn't think there's much of a point. However, if I wanted to, I could ask her to do it. If I ever really ever feel the need for him to know, I'll have my psychologist talk to him. I don't really mind so much if he knows about my problems, but I CANNOT tell him myself.

The only thing that her presence is stopping me from saying is that I'm a little suicidal now. Even that I don't think is crucial to tell my psychiatrist right away because I'm telling my psychologist later tomorrow. He can do whatever he wants with that information. If he wants to tell my mother, he can go right ahead. I honestly think I trust him more than I've ever trusted ANYONE. He knows what's best for me. If he feels that there's cause for real concern, I'll let him tell my mother. I'll let him put me in a hospital if he thinks it's best, but I don't think it's going to go that far.

honestly if your only pssively suicidal here and there for a few minutes I can't imagine youre going to be hospitalized. that's a tad ridiculous. but it CAN be a side effect od the meds...which would be the point in mentioning it to the person prescribing the meds...

also....seriously....cut the umbilical cord. Your mother doesn't need to be going in with you.

Yeah, it mostly is all passive. That's what it was for a long time when I used to say that I had a gut feeling my life would end in suicide. I used to say that pretty often :D.

I'll consider asking my mother not to go back into the room with us. She's told me before that she didn't care which choice I made. So maybe I'll tell her tomorrow that I want to go alone.

The other thing I'll do is once I tell my psychologist tomorrow, I'll ask him his opinion on the whole matter with my psychiatrist.

(And I know that being hospitalized for mostly passive suicidal thoughts is a bit ridiculous. I'm not expecting that to happen, but I was suggesting that I completely trust me psychologist, and if he were to suggest that I be hospitalized, I'd be willing. Really, I'm expecting him to just tell my mother so that she knows.)
