*URGENT* I Want to Change Doctors. How Can I Do This Before It’s Too Late?
Question by : *URGENT* I want to change doctors. How can I do this before it’s too late?
I’m 17, a senior in high school. I recently writ a ‘depressing’ poem for homework for my English class at high school. My teachers did not take it lightly and reported it to my doctors, who now think I’m suicidal. I’m no where close to suicidal, and never will be. This poem I wrote was just something off of the top of my head. I was simply making an homage to my favorite rapper. Apparently this isn’t acceptable. The poem included a knife and a gun (in which I don’t even own).
My father died before I was born and his birthday was January 8th. This greatly affected me as well as the fact that my grandmother died a few months prior to this day (“this day” being Monday, January 16, 2012). I had also been listening to the song “Bastard ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFTLouiUFjI )” and “Inglorious ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10iYnSiT6qs )” by ‘Tyler, the Creator,’ which happens to be my favorite rapper.
I wrote this poem on January the 11th and turned it in as homework on the 12th. On the 13th, I was suspended due to my doctors being skeptical and thought that I meant what I wrote. Of course, I didn’t mean what I wrote, but now my doctor is trying to put me into a Mental Healthcare center as if I’m actually suicidal. He’s trying to put me in a program where I go to the Mental Hospital to substitute for school. I won’t be able to see my friends this way. I want to see my friends or else I *will* be depressed. This plan of my doctor’s is backfired. What’s the point of treating “depression” if the treatment is depressing itself?
This makes me very upset and very sad. I want to change my doctor so I don’t have to go through this.
I’m very sorry for what I said. I just want to go back to what my life was like last week. Someone PLEASE help.

I think you have to give your consent before you go in. Any doctor will most likely be the same. Let them know what you just said.
