i am seeing one right now for cutting too!. it has really helped me so far!. when you go you just tell him/her why you do it then they go from there!. its not that bad, i mean i never knew that i could tell a complete stranger my problems!. the thing that i like is when i am telling my psychiatrist is she understands me and what i am going through right now!. i probably didnt help you that much but it is really not that bad!. good luck!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

As far as I know, you can't be forced to see a psychiatrist, and I think that it was overly harsh of that nurse to tell you to do so!. Perhaps you would be better suited to talking to a CPN first- I'm surprised that you weren't given this option!. But no one can force you to go to get medical treatment for a problem that you have under control!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

psychiatrists are doctors who prescribe medications, and psychologists are well therapists that you go to talk to about your problems!. Either way at least you are getting the option to talk to someone instead of being put in the psychiatric until!.!.!. Teens these days are being put into mental hospitals due to cutting!.!.!. So be glad that you aren't one of them!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went to aphysiatrist since i ahve A!.D!.D They tend to want you to just talk and share your problems!. they wotn push you to say anything!. they will ask you questions and you ansewer them!. If you say you ahve a problem with somethign in your life, they will try to give u adivce!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, cutting equals suicide, and suicide is serious! so I think maybe, at first, just tell the pysc!. about you, and then when your comfortable, tell her/him, why you were slicing your arm!. Good Luck! =DWww@Answer-Health@Com
