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!

That's horrible... whoever said you deserved that one is an asshole.

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.
