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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 therapist broke up with me after almost 3 years. I can’t pay people to listen to my problems. FML
Today, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" 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, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." 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
Today, my therapist told me she can’t see me by herself anymore because frankly I have so many problems, I need separate therapists, each with their own specialties, to work together on me as a team. I didn’t think it was that bad. 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, 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 :)
