Maybe I'm just not a fun guy...

Hm, I hadn't thought of it that way. OK, I'll schedule one. Unfortunately the semester ends next month so sessions could only be no more than a handful, most likely.

Scoring you a C- on that effort. Not good enough.

If you are serious about getting help, find a Psychologist who doesn't take school break. Are you covered under your parent's health fund? Or will they help with the costs?

One thing to remember - it's not a science. If you don't like your psychologist/psychiatrist/counselor you can change. I don't mean if they make you uncomfortable - that's something they HAVE to do, but if what they're doing doesn't sit well with you - you can change them.

I generally tend to distrust psychiatrists - They're MD's first and mental tinkerers second. I think they're more likely to prescribe drugs and not get at the root of the problem.

And again, psychology isn't science, it's art. Some artists are better than others.

[basilandthyme]

Very true. If the first one doesn't work for you, try another.

I know a Primary School Counsellor who offended virtually everyone she works with professionally. My formal complaint about her was just one of many! But the independent child psychologist I used with my son was brilliant. Not only helped with strategies for my son, but helped hubby and I work as a team with him.

Yes, I realise you won't be seeing a child psychologist - this is simply an example of the good and bad out there.

Why not? That'd probably be a good place for him to start.

LOL, wow, thanks bro. Anyway, I don't want anyone in my family knowing. Mexicans tend to think psychologists are for disgusting freaks and will make fun of any family member about it.

[HeartIsAching]

They don't have to know unless you tell them.

[Love'sReject]

That's why getting a non-school provided psych. would be impossible.

So you are mexican? Do you date mexican girls too?

[Love'sReject]

I'm half. And no, of the girls I've ever had something going with, almost none were Mexican. I'm not a gangbanger which is the preferred kind of male for Mexican girls.

[Wakeup]

there's that "something going with" remark again.

[Love'sReject]

LOL. Well, I can't say I dated these girls, nor was I in a relationship with them.

[pcmaster]

So you were just a pimp?

[Wakeup]

Then would you PULEEEEEZE give Your definition of your term: "something going with." Because to me, looking at and wishing you could be with them is far from having something "going with them." Same with arranging a first meet with someone from a dating site... it isn't "somthing going with them." Not at that point, anyway.

[Love'sReject]

"Something going with" girls means: hooking up one night and starting to sort of see each other informally, or in talks to maybe get something going, e.g. maybe go on a date. Surprised there's this much confusion over it.
