Today, after finally seeing a psychologist about the death of my dad and spending the longest hour of my life confessing every thought I've experienced in the 6 years since his passing, my psychologist asked me if I was walking home or if my dad would be picking me up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML
Today, my dad came home from work complaining about all the people he'd seen. He said he doesn't understand why so many people with problems have to confide in him. He's a psychologist. FML
Today, my mum wants me to see a psychologist because I've been acting strange lately. If by "strange" she means "not wanting to die any more", then sure. But thanks, I could've used that psychologist 3 years ago when I asked for one. FML
Today, my distraught mom called me, saying my dad had killed himself and to come home right away. After cussing out my math teacher for trying to stop me and rushing back home in a taxi, I ran into the living room, only to find my parents laughing so hard they were practically in tears. FML
Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML
Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML

That's why when in doubt, always choose a psychiatrist before a psychologist; The former can prescribe dope for you to take so you are less aware that they aren't really listening to you nor do they care about your problems or issues. The meds really soften the blow. And I will refrain from long winded comments on Mental Health Workers (CSW's and QMHP's) other than to say that all of the MHW's I know, their lives are way more screwed up and complicated than I perceive my own to be lol.

Every psychiatrist I've been to has required you see a psychologist first before giving any meds.

How on earth did this idiot get a psych degree??, as someone who wants to go into the counselling psychology profession this makes me sick. You should file a complaint with the practice manager and Find a new therapist. All the very best to you, and may your dad rest in peace.

They obviously weren't listening refuse to pay on grounds of not doing their job and go find another shrink.

Lost my dad too, know the feels. Nothing really worthy of counselling imo, but if anyone speaks ill I punch them with great force.

I spent 2 sessions bawling about a ex of mine and at the end of the two sessions she asked "Are you still dating__________________" It was awkward.

Tell him that your dad will be picking him up from Hades.

Whoa what a bitch!! Evidentially she wasn't paying attention the entire session. Hope you changed to another Dr and are getting yourself help for your feelings

How could someone possibly deserve such a comment like the one she got from her psychologist.
