Do Psychologists like taking on patients who have alot of problems?

Question

I have so many problems it is unreal, so much damage and so many horribly trauamtic things, I am not sure if a psychologist would be intrigued by me or would be scared away by me

I am not sure I want to be helped anyway, I have some physical problems including about the worst problem a man could ask for and feel like I am close to death anyway

anyway, would a psychologist rather see someone who had a simple problem like trying to fix a marriage, or someone like me who has more problems then a person can bare, I imagine a psychologist would never have seen someone like me and couldnt believe someone like me could exist with all the things wrong

I could understand if a psychologist wouldnt want to see someone like me, I imagine I would probably need weeks and months of therapy to tell all these things wrong with me, I have told other people and they all seem flabbergasted that a human could go through so much

Answer 1

yes, but with one caviot: they want the same as any other professional, namely $

Answer 2

You are assuming that there is no one who can relate with you.  In this world, there is someone for everyone.  I am female, 59 years old, a mother, and a caregiver.   My favorite thing to do is to solve problems.  Wherever I go, I am the one who sees problems in the households I go to, and I am the one who solves these problems, because I love to solve problems.  Once problems are solved, life becomes easier, and if the people around me are having problems, I can't relax, If I can help them fix their problems.  Once these things are resoved, everyone's happy.  Some people don't like easy problems, they like hard ones, for the challenge.  I personally don't like Math problems at all, but there are those who do, because solving them gives them a sense of accomplishment.  Keep looking til you find the right person to help solve your problems one by one, until they are all taken care of.  Once they are taken care of, you don't have anything to worry about anymore, right?  My daughter calls me finder of all things, and I do usually find what I am looking for, because I keep looking until I find it.  Keep looking, til you find the right avenues that can open all your doors and shed light on your issues.  Good Luck...Iylena
