Today, I had an appointment with a psychotherapist. I was feeling very depressed and was telling her how I felt no one cared about me. Her phone rang and she left me mid-sentence to take a call about her new BMW. FML

Today, I made an appointment with a therapist because lately I've been feeling alone and like no one cares about me. I waited at her office for about forty minutes before the receptionist informed me that she must have forgotten about the appointment. Even my therapist stands me up. FML

Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML

Today, my girlfriend left me, saying she'd started to appreciate herself more with the help of a therapist. That I paid for her to visit. FML

Today, I realized it's been over a month since my last therapy session. My therapist canceled on me and never got back in touch to reschedule. FML

Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you it's me' speech." Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML

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

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, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML

One of my friends has a T-Shirt proclaiming that they take the 'the' out of psychotherapist.

Totally out of line. Her phone should be off during a session. I'd let her know that you would appreciate her full attention during sessions, as you're paying a lot of money for it.

Refuse to pay for the session. However, YDI........ grow up........ stop whining and start acting like a responsible adult. Every person has to deal with life's hardships - some just deal with it to the best of their abilities, while others decide to act like spoiled brats and pay therapist to listen to their moaning since no one else will

ur comment makes no sense to me, probably because i have feelings which apparently you don't how are they a moaning spoiled brat, for talking to someone about how depressed they are? theyre trying to solve their problems by talking about them, would you rather them just kill themselves and get it done with? or would you have them ignore it until it gets even worse? talking about problems help, hence the point of therapists, grow a heart you insensitive prick

When that happens, you REALLY need to find another therapist. These guys and not here to talk about their new shiny crap they recieve.

therapists are not suppose to do that and can get fired for doing so. I think this is fake

Don't say it's fake, even tho most of them are, we're supposed to shut up and not mention it otherwise we get warned or banned. This is like ******* communism rofl. Hey admin or whatever, am I getting banned for saying this, eh?
