Questing for the white light at the end of the tunnel.

I went to a shrink today. And despite sweating all over and shaking, being completely nervous, he gives me written test to diagnose that theres nothing wrong with me. He left the room as i did the test, and i didnt even understand what half the questions were asking. I was too nervous to ask what they were, and i left the shrink worse off than before. I went to the shrink feeling confident maybe i might get help, and left the shrink feeling suicidal all over again. WTF is up with shrinks, do they even have a degree, or do they simply know how to tally up a personality quiz????
Im feeling so suicidal now, because i just had a bitch at my only friend, im downing off crack, i havent had a cigerette or weed in a while and just feel soooo tired. I hate this world im living in. Its sucks so much not having anyone to support you, or anyone who understands you. Right now im talking to a computer, how desperate is that?
Life starts in a testicle, but it only gets worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a reason near death experiences are so beautiful??????

I don't know what sort of pychiatrist you went to, but I encourage you to try someone else. I've never heard of a psychiatrist making a conclusion like that simply from a written questionnaire.

When I went to a psychiatrist for an assessment, I had three 1-hour sessions. His questions were very open-ended and extensive. He was interested in my job history, relationship history, childhood, depression, anxiety, isolation, addictions etc.

So, keep trying, don't give up. I'm sorry your psychiatrist sounds like a quack.

I'd suggest that you go to a different psychologist and seek help regarding your substance abuse. That sounds like it is really adding to the problem in a negative way. :( I wish you the best and I hope that you will not let one bad experience with a shrink get you down. I've had the same problem myself with psychiatrists; only exception was a psychologist.
