Why should I believe my shrink?!
Question: He told me that if I go into the hospital, then I would get all of these cool drugs. He also said that I would see him everyday.
I don't know. Do you get fun drugs in the hospital?
Are lots of Junior doctors sticking their hands up my butt to see if I am still warm.
Are the junior doctors hot?

I'd get a second opinion. You don't know about any possible association there is between the 2 of them: kickbacks? friend there? Closely examine the www.1-800-therapist.org website, and use the locators, in section 1, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and phone book. Personally, I'd opt for a psychologist who believes in only recommending minimal necessary medication, if at all, because they don't issue prescriptions, so are considerably less likely to be involved with the rewards, and inducements offered by sales reps from "big pharma": the large drug companies, to psychiatrists (there are links to, or articles on how psychiatry has become corrupted by money from drug companies, and "how doctors are being manipulated", in section 1: worth reading!). It's important to not only feel comfortable with your therapist, but also to know about their qualifications, and the type of therapy used (read section 1). Some people are in therapy for many years, and pay a small fortune in fees, so recognise that therapists may have a vested interest in keeping their patients coming back. It pays the rent, and permits them to feel that they are fulfilling a useful function in life. For this reason, I believe that, unless there is a need for a specific type of therapy, such as Dialectical Behavio(u)ral Therapy, for Borderline Personality Disorder, or EMDR therapy, for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it is a good idea to start out with a psychologist who uses Cognitive Behavio(u)ral Therapy, which often can accomplish all it is capable of, in 6 months, and to fix that time limit in the first session. In that way, the therapist knows that there is only a limited window of opportuntiy to do what they can, and there is no unconscious motivation to attempt to draw things out. If, at the end of that time, you believe you could benefit from a little more therapy, then you can extend it, but I'd advise the therapist a few weeks before the final session, in case they are considering taking on a new patient, leaving you "high, and dry" committed, and without options, except to find someone else.
Maybe going to a hospital isn't a bad idea for you. You know, they can fix you.
Your shrink sounds like he is trying to make you feel more secure about the process.
He is a Doctor, I would trust him. That's why you should believe him. 10 years of medical schooling presents no lies.
you only need to believe one person in life...... yourself... .but the drugs are tempting
YOU NEED HELP MEDITATE ON GOD..
looking more and more like you do need help.
