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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. 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, my therapist clapped for me when I told her I'd made a friend. FML
Today, I’m going to school to become a therapist. Now anyone I tell that to, they now vomit their life stories to me. 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
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

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.

I think your problems are unfixable if even your therapist can't hold herself together

My therapist sometimes just looks at me with wide eyes and says "I'm definitely working for my money."

At least you know you have a empathic doctor.

Many people become therapists because they have experienced some sort of tragedy in their lives as well. You could have possibly said something that reminded him or her of a past experience which is in your favor since he or she will be able to better relate to you. Keep your chin up OP I'm sure the next session will be better (:

You win a prize for touching the heart of someone who's probably sat there and heard every story you can imagine, OP- take pride in finding a therapist who's empathetic and who can respond with feelings to a story that's worth feeling sad about....

That's the therapist's way of saying "I agree, your life sucks"

There are therapists that specialise in working with other therapists.
