Hello NoHope8..
A very warm welcome to the forums...
Well done in reaching out to a psychiatrist...I’m sorry she was so cold towards you...and you didn’t feel a connection..My psychiatrist is also a bit on the cold side, but I don’t have to see him unless my support workers feel I need a meds adjustment....Last time he made a comment that really hurt me..My support worker was with me and noticed my change..he then apologised and I put it down to he was so busy that day....even so..he should have been more caring towards me..
I think in my opinion to give her another try and if she is still the same..then if you could, maybe try to find anyone that has more compassion...You need to be comfortable enough to trust her with what you disclose to her....
I went through a few psychologist that I felt judged with..one even cancelled my appointments after I disclosed something..I felt the judgment after I disclosed it...Now I have a very caring councillor..who understands me and is helping me without judgment...
NoHope...Maybe you might need to look around and try a few different psychiatrist, psychologist or therapist until you find one you can connect to....
talk here anytime..we are here for you, and will try our best to help you..
Sending my kind and caring wishes to you..
Grandy.
