most of the time you can find some doctors in a hospital that can refer you to a good shrink.

Ive never had one before but you could call that number above and they can direct you to how to find a psychiatrist, or therapist, or psychologist.
Ive made a post before that I asked the difference between those so you can look there to see what you think you need more >>> http://help.com/post/270374-whats-the…
What? They dont do that. I thought you said you wanted to find professional help.
I assume your doctor is no help. I had a very long term medical problem and considered ending my life as I just couldn’t stand the pain, the constant pain. I asked my doctor and she gave me the name of a great shrink that was covered by my insurance. This was three years ago and though I am still not pain free, it is so much better and I am SO GLAD I SAW IT THROUGH. Medical miracles happen every day and once you end your life it is ended forever. Keep the faith. Call a suicide prevention number, ask your doctor. Help is out there.

Yes I do Im just worried that if i call one of those hot lines that they will be more concerned with finding me then helping me find the help i need.. Yes i want to go see a shrink or something not be locked up or something because i am upset
They dont do that though at all, not everyone who calls is suicidal and that wouldnt make sense to track calls. They even have a site see > http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline….
“What will happen when I call?
* You will hear a message saying you have reached the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
* You will hear hold music while your call is being routed.
* You will be helped by a trained crisis worker.
* You will be given mental health services referrals if needed.

I went and saw my regular dr and hes got me on oxycontin and every other pain med u can think of which bailey touch the pain so i really dont even wanna take em anymore but now im to a point im kind of stuck and have to take em just to cut maybe 10 percent of the pain away
So get another doctors opinion on whats wrong then. A specialist. Just do a search for your symptoms online and maybe you could find something better.
No problem, i just hope you can get better :)
Oh no i know there is a system set up to help prevent you from going to doctor after doctor for more meds. I dont think there is anything against sending you to a specialist.
Theres still hope though. This kind of thing happens a lot. Person goes to doctor, doesnt get cured, person goes to another doctor and doesnt get cure, person gets depressed and suicidal, then person sometiems does find a doctor who finally gets whats up and then they are better.

um no all i did was go see another family physician asking a second opinion about my care and i was told that if i dont like hiw services then it might be good for me to remember that u can remove me from my contract at any time.. its like im going through hell with this guy
Im not sure if they can do that or not. Im not legal expert.
Goodnight and have a good day i hope :)
As a crisis line worker, I can honestly say that the rule for us is that we never get help unless the person was suicidal in that moment while on the phone.
Your safety and the safety of others is most important and I truly hope that you find the help you need and deserve.
If you ever want to talk here, We’re listening.
Hope you have a better day today.
hugs!
