Went in to fake add and get adderall. Copped to lying in third session. About that and lots more. Now he's very concerned and thinks I need serious, regular psychotherapy. I think we're talking personality disorder territory. And part of me is like ok, fine. Sure I don't have problems getting better and you seem sharp and insightful and I've never minded navel gazing. But it's crazy expensive, I'm in my early thirties and I'm pretty skeptical of the whole thing ever making a difference. And it's not like I'm in some crisis. I'm just kind of an asshole. Maybe I shouldn't live with myself just fine, but I do. Also, creeped out by the fact that I've met his wife and kid before. Not like friends or anything, but live pretty close, first kid around the same time. Neighborhood suddenly a lot smaller.
Also, should I mention that to him? Feel like it's pretty creepy. The google stalking. The I've seen your cute cute baby. All of it.

Wtf? Why did you cop to lying? You could've kept the gravy train running.
That's what I've been doing. But on net Adderall has done me more harm than good, so in that sense no my psych hasn't helped me, considering I'm as good as hooked at the moment. But that's mostly my own doing.
Why do you think you "lied" about having ADHD? I just read a study that said that literally 2/3rd of an undergrad population can make a credible claim to ADHD inattentiveness.
That's because the "disorder" is fraud lies. So is the med to "treat" it. Seriously, I'm saying Adderall is the devil, and I'm no Mother Against Drunk Driving. I'm someone who did as you did.

In fairness, I do think I might have add and it's a pretty small dose. Dude seems mega competent, but does not take insurance and rates are 350 /hr. Even sliding scale that's hefty. (Hah. He keeps arguing trying to give me a bigger discount, but haggled psychotherapy just feels massively wrong.)
And I just don't know really even what I'm hoping for or why he's working with me. I think he thinks I'm super messed up and by virtue of that fact, interesting. And me, well I can play both. I mean I am super messed up but I'm also just fine and could go through life this way. Bleh. Not that that makes sense.
I just wish I wasn't constantly thinking about it- whether it be treatment or quitting it.

Unless you're loaded, there's no way you should pay 350/session except for the monthly Adderall refill if you want to keep it up. Each session is just fraud but he'll assure you that "these things take time so be patient."
But, since you've basically confessed to lying, he could (and might if you quit) flag you as a drug seeker. Then you're fucked re other doctors, who'll be more reluctant to prescribe scheduled shit.
Also, "I do think I might have ADD." No shit. Literally the entire population can say that without flinching. How and why did you "confess"?

I think you have to go in with a clear-eyed view of yourself (as much as possible, because, after all, it is precisely this lack of clear-eyed view for which you're ostensibly seeking help). You also have to truly want to get better/change negative behaviors.
Many years ago, I consulted with a very well-known and highly credentialed psych on a recommendation from a mentor who knew I was going through some shit.
It was crazy expensive. That's the main reason I stopped. I can say it was helpful in at least one respect: that I had someone to actually be able to tell everything to. I lacked friends or a support network for that. But in terms of getting "better", it's murky. I liked my d00d a lot, but it was clear he'd be happy to treat me/take my money for literally the rest of my life.
