I have a problem with him and its upsetting me. I have a special case of Depression.

You see, when I was a kid I was on medicine for some tics and after I stopped it abruptly, I suffered a severe withdrawal that left me emotionally numb and mentally slower after I was on the medicine. It was Prozac. Later when I began masturbating, I have worsened it and my symptoms got worse and I developed new symptoms such as impotence, memory problems, confusion, irritability, insomnia, and many more.

But you see, he doesn't believe me! Wtf. He thinks its all in my head! He thinks I make these problems by making myself emotionless and blocking out memories to block out whatever I don't like. It is true partially I think. I think I do avoid some problems. But the physical problems are true too! This stuff is different than conventional science knows but it is true! SSRIs sometimes do make you emotionally numb. Withdrawals sometimes last years. You can find people who were brain damaged from these drugs indefinitely. It is also known very well in the east, and by some doctors and people in the west that masturbation can mess up your health! Other people say they were tired and confused from masturbating and some doctors knew it too.

He says get doctor's evidence. But how can I do that when all Psychiatry is nothing but an assumption? There is no neurotransmitter test and doctors prescribe medicine without testing anyone. Its all behavioral. When I KNOW this was caused physically and I did NOT seek problems then. If he doesn't believe me it will hurt my therapy. Its upsetting enough he doesn't believe me. These things are just not measured! But I am telling you IT IS ALL TRUE. When I was on Wellbutrin, which of course as a kid I was forced right after Prozac, I did feel better. I didn't care then either. I just wanted to get away from it all by following everything people said. Yes I have some psychological issues, but that doesn't mean I don't have real physical-caused (brain) mental health issues. I am gonna ask my Psychiatrist to tell my Psychotherapist its true. She has to tell him that!

Every day I struggle to get out of bed and there must be a physical issue in it! I have had that my whole life and it only got worse since I got that withdrawal. I know when I accidentally did things like warm myself up or get out of bed earlier or drink more a day, my health improved. I did not bring it out. It was accidental findings. It is all physically connected. And also I did not believe this for years but then I found out. After ignoring it for years I remembered what happened. There is just no way its all in my head. Such severity. Omg. This therapy will not help if my Psychotherapist does not believe me. If you look into it, you will KNOW it is all true! Its rare but these things happen you know. It IS rare someone will have post-SSRI long problems. Is IS rare masturbation can damage you. But IT HAPPENS. And if I will ever get that healing done, I will need someone who understands me at least but better is one who truly knows this.

Please help me!

I understand why you must be feeling very frustrated. From your story, it sounds like you have been in treatment for quite some time. You may feel as though you have not progressed in your therapy for what may be years. If you can be honest and open with both your psychotherapist and your psychiatrist, tell them that you want to schedule a meeting with both of them present. Get your anger, frustration and trust issues out in the open. Are the two aware of what you are feeling about your therapy? Do they ever confer about the work that each is doing with you? It may take changing to another doctor, but I would consider that as a last resort. It seems that you have invested a lot of time and effort (not to mention money) to get to the point you are now. I hope that you can find the understanding that you are seeking.

Hi ~ Thanks for choosing my answer as" best answer". I wish you the very best in your attempt to get your life back on course and your therapy straightened out. Hootie

If they don't understand you, find a new one. Not all therapists are right for you.

I agree with Kat, consider getting a new psychiatrist.
