Is it appropriate to go to a Psychologist when dealing with "relationship" problems?

To answer your question, YES a PSYCHOLOGIST can help you with all of the above. They are trained in relationships, marriage, and individual counseling. I think it would be good for you to talk with someone about this situation. You will feel better for doing so! \nMy guess is, you will begin to realize why you are waiting on someone who isn't emotionally nor physically available right now!!!\nGood Luck to you I wish you the very best!!

I understand your dilemma, because I used to be this way myself. I would find myself talking about things in my life that should have been private to almost anyone, and occasionally, I still do.  I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist, so basically, this is just coming from my experience and opinions.  I think the reason that you tell others about your problems is that either 1. you don't trust yourself to solve them or 2. you don't want to take the responsibility of solving them yourself, in case you don't make the right decision.  You look to others' opinions and suggestions, even though you probably already know how you should handle the situation.\nIf you do this because of the 1st reason I mentioned, you don't trust yourself to solve your problems on your own, it is most likely due to a lack of self-esteem.  You don't value your own opinion enough to believe that you are capable of managing your own life. In this case, you need to learn to believe in yourself. Counseling/therapy, support groups, or even a self-help book may be somethings to try, maybe even all of them. But, if self-esteem is the case, I'm sure that this is not the only are of your life being affected.\nIf it is the 2nd reason, you don't want to take the responsibility of solving your problems yourself, in case you don't make the right decision, you have to acknowledge that this is what you are doing, and consciously make an effort to make these decisions and take the responsibility.  It is easier to blame someone else if something goes wrong, "It's not my fault, I was just following their advice".  The only problem with that is that it IS still your fault anyway.....you are the one who made the decision to take THAT advice!  At least if you make the decisions yourself, you will have some things to rely on that are better than other people's opinions, like your gut feeling, your thoughts and experiences, and your conscience to help you make the decisions that YOU believe are right.......and at least you'll have that to fall back on.

If you have not already sought out help from a mental health professional I stongly suggest you do so.  Depression is extremely common and it can be managed by therapy and/or medications.  Either pinpointing the source through therapy or finding the right medications for you may allow you to enjoy those things you once used to.

If the relationship is worth saving, and you guys love each other, then yes, you should try to work through problems. If all you have lately is problems, and that's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about her, you should talk about this thoroughly and make some decisions together about wheather or not to continue with the relationship.

I think there is more to the issue than what has been shared and suggest that maybe going to a marriage counselor might help in discovering all the real underlying issues affecting both of your behaviors.  A lot of men say you can 'ask them anything' when you have concerns but often become defensive or unable to express themselves.  Perhaps a third person who is objective might be able to help find out what is really going on in the relationship.

Sometimes...but then if you REALLY want to try to keep it together a counselor really helps...my sis and her husband went to one and they have resolved all their issues...there life is so great now!!  Communication is the key.

See a thearapist or psyciatrist <sp?>.  Therapy and/or dication helps alot.  If the situation gets to bad and your affraid that you might hurt yourself in the real near future, get yourself to the ER / Hospital.  Psyc. hospitals aren't as bad as they are protraited and it may save your life.\n\nIn short there is help out there, if you can't find it on your own, your family doctor can steer you in the right direction.

It isn't unacceptable. Some people have issues, that's all. You will have to decide which relationship is more important and which one you want in your life and work accordingly.

Communication is the base of any good relationship. He may have insecurity problems and god knows what else, but if you are afraid to address the issue with him, how do you expect this problem to be solved? Relationships take lots of work, communication, dedication and understanding. The truth is nobody is perfect and at some point in any relationship some things need to be addressed in order to be fixed. Sometimes professional help is needed. But you need to acknowledge the problem and let the other person know. Failing to do so will make your life miserable and you will end up taking !@#$ from future people you dont have to.

Don't try to diagnose yourself, you need to see a psychiatric doctor to get some help.  They can diagnose you properly as well.

Go see a Doctor, Therapist, Psychologist, etc, and he/she can help you with those questions, if it's that serious.

Yes, it dose. I’ve seen a counselor myself (for reasons I’d rather not disclose), and I can vouch for the helpfulness thereof. I’ve even heard it said that to become a good psychologist, you should have any personal issues addressed to another counselor. Everyone has mental and emotional issues just like everyone gets sick from time to time. There’s no shame in seeing a counselor; to say that neither you nor anyone in your family tree has ever had a mental problem is just as reasonable as saying no one in your family tree has ever had a cold. If you feel that you need to speak to a councilor, go ahead, and I wish you the best of luck.
