Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I found out the psychiatrist who treats me for bipolar disorder died. He committed suicide. FML
Today, my psychologist broke up with me, professionally. It's alright though, she told me it's her, not me. FML
Today, my therapist died from a heart attack, all while telling me not to stress over anything. FML
Today, my psychologist canceled our appointment due to Covid. I'm a mess and was looking forward to our meeting, it's the only constant thing in my life. FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. FML
Today, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, my psychiatrist literally said the words, ”I don’t know how to help you anymore” to me. I have never felt more hopeless. FML
Today, I finally decided to open up to my supervisor about my horrible depression. I was crying my eyes out in her office when she announced that she had to leave and go to a meeting, leaving me to cry alone in her office. FML
Today, my psychiatrist said, "Well, good luck." at the end of my appointment. FML
Today, I found out my cousin - who suffers from bipolar disorder - shot herself in the chest and has only a 20 percent chance of living. I told my boyfriend, while crying, and he held me for a few minutes. As soon as I got quiet, he pulled out his iPhone and started playing a shooter game. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sometimes the people best at helping others, cannot help themselves. I've known MANY people who had good, solid relationship advice...and had the worst relationships. They couldn't do for themselves, but they help/ed a lot of people. I would also suggest learning from his last lesson; as bad as you feel about him doing this...your family & friends would go through that but a million times *worse* if you had taken your own life. Pretty awful stuff. :(

Damn man, that sucks. But don't go and think it was your fault, it had nothing to do with you. Just try and find another psychologist that will be able to truly help you.

#11- Way out of line!!!! People can't help the fact that they are ill, so why is it the OP's fault for trying to get HELP?? Usually the people who help us are unable to help themselves, and thus try to do the most they can. OP, I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully this won't set you back. This was NOT your fault. Good luck with your new psychologists.

I have bipolar disorder also - I can't imagine what I would do if that happened to my doctor. Don't listen to these idiots who said it was your fault. Find a new doctor and focus on your wellness.

It's probably not your fault. Doctors tend to ignore medical symptoms until it's too late

they say psychologists have a high rate of suicide... since they spend their whole lives dealing with other people's problems, which can be pretty difficult to deal with. :

#6 you are totally right! I always give advice to my best friends about their love interests and they are all in longterm, happy relationships but Ive been single for two years!

as someone training to be a psychologist, my professors have advised my classmates and me to get a therapist once we start private practice
