Today, after breaking down in front of my therapist over some really sensitive issues, she decided to also break down. Not about my story but about her own life. I'm not being paid to comfort and console my therapist. FML

Today, my psychologist broke up with me, professionally. It's alright though, she told me it's her, not me. FML

Today, I've been seeing a therapist after more than 20 years of struggles. I think I saw him cry during our sessions a few times. I guess that my inability to live my life at the fullest was hard earned. FML

Red flag

Today, I tried therapy to talk about my problems without feeling like i am harassing anyone. After messaging a therapist for over 2 hours, I felt way better and finally understood. It turned out I'm in such a bad mental state that I'm a danger to myself and others. Police were called by the therapist. FML

Bad start

By Nathan - 23/03/2009 20:09 - United States

Today, I went to see a therapist for the first time because I've been feeling depressed lately. I opened up and said everything that was on my mind. I really spilled my guts. After a good 30 minutes, her first question was, "Do you always talk this much?" FML

Today, after weeks of therapy for severe depression, my therapist thought it would be helpful to confess my deepest problems to my friends, to prove that it was alright to trust people. I did. They laughed. Hard. FML

Maybe something you said triggered something that she feels. This makes you seem extremely inconsiderate...

Therapists have feelings. If you don't feel comfortable after this, don't go back to her and find another therapist. But you know, maybe you can help yourself by helping someone else :)

I think she just trying to let you know you're not the only one whose life sucks

Then she sucks at her job, and OP needs a new therapist. One who puts the paying patient's needs before their own, as they should.

Even tho it's not professional, You know how it feels when you break down, you can't stop yourself, and I bet she didn't feel good about it. Anyway, at least you didn't just get up and walk away :)
