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

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, 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, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" FML

Sharing is caring

Today, I finally shared some of my insecurities and difficulties I’m experiencing with a close friend. The response was great, they listened, and gave advice. Later I met another friend, who said that they’re here for me. Everyone was just trying to help, but now almost everyone I know knows. I feel worse than before. 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

BFF

Today, after my therapist told me I should open up to my friends more, I sent a message to a pen-pal and told her that I had asked for and found help with my postpartum troubles. She replied that I'm a bad friend for "always burdening her with my problems." FML

Honestly?

Today, my friend needed to talk out bad feelings. Then she urged me to open up as well. I hate doing it, but it only seemed fair, so I confessed my deep insecurities. Not only did she agree with everything, but she also helpfully added that I'm boring, have no life, and all my dreams are unattainable. 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

I think you need some new friends. Depression is a very serious thing.

Learn not to depend on others. The stronger you are, the better friends and relationships you'll have.

To me the most depressing part is the bone-headed therapist. How stupid is it to tell someone if such a fragile state to "confess" their problems to their friends, not knowing whether they are mature men, or moronic, party-boy, drinkin' buddies who light their own farts? Gee, Doc, if I thought spilling my guts to my jackass buddies would help, why the **** would I need you?

You're assuming that he never mentioned his friends before. For all we know OP probably stated that he confided in his friends and played them up as his form of escape. It seems the doc wanted him to tell his friends the deepness/root of his problems, and he didn't expect those reactions. But then again I'm assuming that he did talk about his friends, so I guess we both can't judge hahaha. ________________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99
