Today, it was my final meeting with my psychologist who was helping me with my bipolar disorder. I just found out that he committed suicide. FML

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. :(

About the "You deserved that one" thing, I have a confession to make: I clicked it accidentally a few times (on other threads) because I thought that that would allow me to view the comments written by people who thought that the original poster deserved whatever had happened to him or her. I didn't realize that you have to click on the thread number to see the comments. So, there's a good chance that other people might have made the same mistake, and that not of all the "You deserved that" votes are real.

The same thing happened to Sarah Silverman, and she turned out fine. Stop being such a whiny bitch.

Is it strange that I find this ridiculously utterly funny? #5 - That is hilarious too.

How the **** is this funny? If you were bipolar and you found out the psychiatrist that was helping you committed suicide, you wouldn't be laughing.

Everyone has their own demons they need to face down. He might have had a hard time with his own, but I certainly hope you continue working towards your own wellness. Be strong!

Well shit, it looks like you handled your life better than your psychologist. Don't worry about it, take life by the throat.

It's not your fault. For the rest here, remember that psychologists are people too. They are not robots that dispense help, they also can have their own problems. In many cases the stigma against getting mental treatment can be worse for psychologists, because there is a belief that they shouldn't need treatment. But the truth is that medical doctors need medical help as well. Anyone who said this person deserved it is not a very good human being.

This. ''The stigma against getting mental treatment''. Some professionals seems to pretend on purpose there is no such thing as a sigma against getting mental treatment and mental illness. It has to be adressed because the patient will be reluctant to accept help. I had a friend who wouldn't accept medication because his family would have found out he was ''doing drugs to feel happy''. He made up lies to meet a psychologist. It didn't turn out well for him. Would have had much better chance to feel less like crap if his therapy was supported with medication. I'm so sorry OP.
