Today, I told my therapist that I read FML for relaxation and entertainment. She asked what FML is, then told me stop reading this website, as my life is bad enough, knowing other's experiences would actually increase my level of anxiety. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I enjoy reading this site and other people's suffering just to feel better about my own life. FML
Today, I started seeing a therapist for my depression. While I was looking through the magazines in the waiting room, I found an article accusing people who see therapists of being selfish and having no real problems. FML
Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. 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, my therapist died from a heart attack, all while telling me not to stress over anything. 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
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML
Today, after finding out from my psychologist that I have a disability in reading comprehension, I tried to Google how to improve my reading skills. I couldn't understand what any of the articles were saying. FML
Today, I was sitting with a group of people at lunch. I was having a bad day, so I began venting to them. Eventually, they got tired of it and banned me from the table, because my "depressing mindset" reminds them of their trauma. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That would be an interesting study. Facebook and Instagram have been proven to decrease users happiness because people compare their lives to the best parts of other peoples lives and it makes them feel worse about themselves. Here I think the only real bad take away you could have is gaining the perception that the shit that happens here is normal.

That's bullshit. Instead of therapy, I just come to FML every day and my mental health is spectacular!

No matter how bad things get, there is always someone else who has it worse. And here they are, on FML, telling you to be grateful it was only embarrassing and not fatal.

Meh, how would she know? If it genuinely relaxes you, keep at it. A response to her could be that it makes you less anxious seeing problems other people have, because you could have it worse.
