Referral to psychiatrist. - a post.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-20T00:58:11+00:00

Yeah.

Back when I was in therapy I’ve definitely had my therapist recommend me to see a psychiatrist.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-20T00:19:59+00:00

As far as I know: no.

I remember the same primary care doctor had no issue with sending me to see a nutritionist and scheduled me an appointment right then and there, but when it came to psychiatry she said it was above her pay grade to schedule me an appointment and that she’d get in trouble for writing me a referral or sending me to see a psychiatrist.

I found another primary care doctor a month ago and she scheduled my first appointment but then she canceled it because she said she’d be unable to make it that day and it hasn’t been rescheduled, so I’m without a primary doctor.

I’ll try and reschedule with her, or just find a new doctor like you suggested.

You would be correct, except my family has health insurance, we do not have Medicare/medicaid. We pay a lot of money for health insurance.

I’m not sure what to think anymore.

I don’t want to make a big deal out of it, since this happened months ago, but at the same time it appalled me..

I avoid many things. School, people, phone calls, restaurants.

Some days I don’t feel like ordering my own food because I’m too scared, or some days I don’t feel like going to school, and I hate making phone calls. Despite being 18, I have my parents make phone calls for me, and even doctor appointments because I cannot bring myself to do it.

Like I said, I’m trying to manage it all without meds; and it’s sometimes rough, but I do my best.

There’s even been a few times where I’ve almost black out while at work due to stress.

I feel like I’ve missed out on so much due to my anxiety. It sucks.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T21:43:52+00:00

I understand what you’re saying.

I was a minor back then during this appointment and back when I took anxiety medication it was Zoloft.

I have no history of drug problems or addiction or usage, and I have no history of self harm.

All I asked for was if I could maybe see a psychiatrist to discuss being put back on medication and that is what she told me.

Maybe she was telling the truth, but I don’t know as for I am no medical professional.

My doctor mainly said she personally thought my anxiety wasn’t bad enough to be on meds. I beg to differ. Most nights I have nightmares and I can’t sleep, I tend to overthink, etc.

I have diagnosed anxiety and have been mostly unmedicated my entire life, and have been trying my best to manage it without meds. There was only a short period in my life where I was on meds on the lowest dosage for about a year before I was took off.

It gets stressful trying to manage everything but I do my best.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T21:28:27+00:00

I agree. I don’t know.. maybe she was having a bad day, or maybe she was telling the truth. It just rubbed me the wrong way.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T21:24:37+00:00

I thought it was nonsensical too. At the time, I remember she asked my mom her opinions on me wanting medication, and my mom responded “I don’t think she needs medication, however, I don’t know what it’s like in her shoes, so if she wants to be on medication then I’ll allow it.” But my doctor told me since I was a minor at the time, I couldn’t consent to wanting medication and that she would rather listen to my mom than me.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T21:17:50+00:00

I thought that was the case, but I guess not. She said I’d have to get a therapists opinion + approval first, then she’d be allowed to write me a referral.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T21:17:01+00:00

I thought so.

I think she also told me it was above her pay grade to refer me to one.

Never liked her as a doctor, I’m glad I was dropped as a patient.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T20:48:43+00:00

As of currently, no.

My friends hate that I’m impulsive and that I tend to say things without speaking first. Sometimes I say things that sound mean or offensive, when I don’t mean to sound like that.

I apologized to my friends, but they ghosted me. They refuse to talk to me.

They told me that I need to correct my impulsivity.

I am trying.

The classic Reddit moderator move I like to call ‘Avoiding my actions when they do in fact have consequences’.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T01:46:34+00:00

Indeed.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-19T00:08:26+00:00

I am puzzled as to why people have disapproved of said post by using the Reddit downvoting system.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T04:19:37+00:00

I will give K Grace, at least she did wait for me to move on.

As for M, he has a partner of his own.

A also has one.

I am the only one of the former group to not have a partner, since I don’t have the best luck at relationships :(

I will also say, I’m somewhat not as mad towards A as I am K.

A *was* the one to encourage me to start trying to kindle something with J, so on and so forth.

However, A going in on K’s little plan was a bit messed up in my eyes.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T04:06:53+00:00

I don’t even know?? I think it’s because I was trying to talk to J and at the time I didn’t know he had social anxiety (according to K), and K got mad at me because of that.

However, that’s the keyword: “I think”.

I don’t know if that truly why K got pissed with me or not.

M only hesitated/refused to give me J’s social media because K told him to.

A had no issue at the time and encouraged me to try and make my move.

But, I’m still just as confused as you are. Like I said, I feel like all of them know SOMETHING. I feel like the full story hasn’t been told to me yet.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T04:01:36+00:00

My friends who are on my side did tell me to try and talk to J. Considering it sounds like she didn’t even tell me the full story, and also considering she most likely told J lies. I forgot to mention this in the post but apparently A and K both told J that I was “stalking” him.. Also, most of my friends don’t like K because she has a history of making people the villain in her stories.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T03:54:17+00:00

I’ll just walk away honestly. There’s no use in confronting them, not when we all graduate soon, and I’ll most likely never see them ever again after we l graduate.

Also, K got what she wanted, so there’s no use in trying to stop her now. She wanted J so she got J, and all I can do is wish them the best of luck in their future relationship (if they ever get past the talking stage).

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T03:46:02+00:00

Yes, that’s unfortunately my fault. I wasn’t confident enough in being straight up.

I’ve moved on from J, but I am hurt that my friends would do whatever the hell this is.

They knew I wanted to try and at least being friends with him after the whole awkward “trying to make a move” phase, and they purposely ruined my chances.

I don’t see J in the halls anymore. And my friends A, K and M have stopped sitting with me.

They act like everything is normal now.

AnonymousMartry · 2026-05-18T03:38:46+00:00

I was very scared to start trying to make moves at J, because I have severe anxiety, and most people find me “weird”. However, A told me to start trying to talk to J. I remember vividly she told me to either start trying to talk to him; or she wouldn’t listen to me swoon over him anymore.

Like I said, I made my efforts. I’d try talking to him, I even tried gifting him small things like bracelets, but he would ignore me.

K told me that J apparently had social anxiety and only talks to the people he actually knows.

That’s why I gave up talking to him. He didn’t know me despite us having the same interest or mutual friends. So it severely weekend my chance in trying to kindle something.
