im cancelling my appointment with my psychiatrist. i already stopped seeing my therapist (but that was her own doing for not getting ahold of me when this whole pandemic thing started and its not like i didnt try. i called several times.) my friend bugged me and bugged me for years saying he would feel better if i was getting help. well now i can either not tell him and the only way he would know is if i told him or tell him which i really dont want to do. im not even sure why im putting this up for suggestions i probably just wont tell him.

If your friend is genuinely interested in your well being, and if the psychiatrist isn’t helping you, then ideally, you should be able to tell him honestly, without upsetting him.
It’s not so much upsetting him that’s the problem. He promised he’d stop worrying if I got help. Well, I wouldn’t say he lied you can’t exactly control how you feel, but he didn’t keep his promise. He’s still worried. And I’m worse then when I first made the promise, I don’t even want to imagine what he’d think.
When he first made the promise. Sorry I’m a little out of it lol
I’ve never even been in it, so no worries. Huh? You’re right, as you’ve already seen….he can’t keep that promise. It’ll be touch and go for you two for awhile…but he’ll wrap his head around it at some point. Psychiatrists, therapists and the like are a double edged sword. The more time you spend with them, the deeper inside yourself you go, and ain’t that always fun. Going up….Third floor….misgivings, misconceptions, misunderstandings, and seasonal barbecue.
i know you shouldnt always take the easy way out but i just cant see anything positive coming from telling him.
