Should I tell my Psychiatrist.

Good luck! I actually see a counselor at the school on a weekly basis. It took me over a year just to tell her about my sexuality. I knew that my sexuality would help her help me more, but I guess that fear of rejection persisted. Anyway, if you have to, try and segue to coming out. IF you can't think of anything else, when there's a bit of "silence" you can bring it up. Good luck, and take some deep breaths if you need to.
 
Good luck. I see tomorrows the day.

Do it. Telling your most personal secrets so you can work through them is the whole point of seing a psychiatrist or counselor.

Think about it. Your time with this person is the only time during the week where you can go on and on about yourself and your feelings and not have to worry about whether you are boring the other person!

You can do it. I can guarantee you will feel better. Go for it!
 
Oh, crap! Well, that's more time to practice. Really. Pretend a chair is your psy. And then practice telling it. Sounds nuts, but it works.

We are all cheering for you. (*8*)
 
NO ! shrinks give me the creeps . next thing u know he`s giving u some "magic pills" :S

Hi Jeffrules,

There is nothing I am able to add to this excellent advise provided by NCDogGuy. So I would also advise you to tell your psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are trained to cope with this kind of information and can be a great help to help you to accept who you are.

I assume your psychiatrist is a reliable professional and I assume therefore that she is not using religious opinions about gay and lesbian people whilst doing her job. Otherwise, you should not go to such a psychiatrist.

Best wishes & good luck.
 
Some therapists' style is to reflect the patients' thoughts and feelings, to bring you out, so to speak. They may just sit for 10 minutes or more waiting for you to say something, which is good. It is about you. Your statement, "I am gay...there I said it!" would elicit the response like, "It sounds like that was difficult for you to say." or such, some open-ended statement and that gives you the opportunity to talk about how hard it was, and all of a sudden you start talking about it and getting in touch with how you FEEL about that, and sometimes it takes surprising turns on the way to being better. That is the therapeutic effect.
 
Yes definatly!! You may find that when it comestime to tell her u may not be able to get the words out... You can alwayswrite it down then pass her the paper (if that is an issue for you). I found comming out to somone (specialy my first time) scary as hell ended up mumbling the words out But it was so worth it! Not to mention shes there tohelp u :D
 
Alright so I took things in a totally difference direction,I did not get to have my Session a month ago.So then I was having second thought.Until this morning when I told my Mom.I wrote it on a piece of paper,and she cried and hugged me and told me basically that she was fine with it.
She seemed surprised,but it was a positive experience.So far she's the only person I told.I have a session Monday.She's coming with me.

I am so happy for you and glad your mom responded in a loving and affirmative way. I'd say good luck for the appointment, but I doubt you need luck. It will go fine.
 
That's great! Now you have support for whatever else you decide to do. It's great to have somebody else to carry some of the weight.

Good luck.
 
Telling your mom is a lot better than a psychiatrist. Congratulations!

As to your original question: If you're paying a psychiatrist a shitload of money to have her listen to you, then yes, you should pretty much tell her everything. :)
