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

Today, my therapist started laughing at me whilst I was telling my story. He said, "Sorry, I can't help it" and burst out laughing. FML

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 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

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

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

Or maybe your therapist needs therapy?

I've been in therapy too, but for the ability to adjust to life right now in a wheelchair, but maybe something you mentioned reminded the therapist about something that they experienced.

Damn, I feel for you OP. Unprofessional on their part, but at least you're hopefully getting the help you need!

Is your life that bad? Or so good that they were crying in joy? Simply the therapist needs a bit of help if I thinking this correctly...

I don't think your therapist should be helping others if they can't keep it together...

If your therapist started crying, then you should TOTALLY write a book about your life and turn everything around by making loads of cash. Just mention me in the "Thanks" section. :D

Would he/she write "thanks to myliferockstits"? Not a bad idea, I just found that a bit funny :)

That's not ok. Some stories are so sad even professionals can't hide what it makes them feel. Keep fighting, though

Last time I went to therapy he suggested that I see another therapist and I tried to make another appointment once I told my name they hung up

I know you won't tell me, but.. Now I'm really curious about what you told her.

Therapists are people as well. Perhaps yours is just naturally a crybaby. Some people don't have the ability to hold back tears.
