Today, I told my friends that I got a therapist this past week. Every single one of them told me to quit seeing the therapist, and to just talk to them and do more drugs to feel more numb. I don't think that's the right thing to do, and they're actually arguing with me over it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. 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, after constantly shaming me for my ADHD and anti-anxiety pills, my family finally convinced me to drop $250 on their trusted psychiatrist friend because they thought he’d talk me out of taking them. He recommended higher doses of everything. FML
Today, my therapist said, "Y'know, Sarah, you would be a lot happier if you laid off the cocaine." I don't do cocaine. I never have. FML
Today, and every time I meet a new therapist for support, I’m told that my issues are out of their scope of practice, and I get referred to someone who’s supposed to more experienced, and then get told the same thing. I’m too fucked up to even get the therapy I need to get better. FML
Today, after my therapist told me I should open up to my friends more, I sent a message to a pen-pal and told her that I had asked for and found help with my postpartum troubles. She replied that I'm a bad friend for "always burdening her with my problems." FML
Today, I saw my specialist and I told her that one of my medications is messing with my head too much. I said that it’s making my depression so bad I have started cutting again, and want to walk in front of a truck. They said I just have to "suck it up". FML
Today, my therapist told me she can’t see me by herself anymore because frankly I have so many problems, I need separate therapists, each with their own specialties, to work together on me as a team. I didn’t think it was that bad. FML
Today, I started self-harming again. My therapist keeps switching the subject when I try to bring it up, and my best friend has called me attention-seeking and selfish so many times in the past year that I’m too scared to ask for her support. I have nobody else to talk to. FML
Today, I told my parents about my life problems, after they forced me to open up. Now they want to send me to a psychiatrist. Don't trust anyone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Keep up with the therapist, tell your friends to go **** themselves, and just do a moderate amount of cannabis.

Cut those ignorant and insensitive people out your life ASAP. They're seeking to do more harm than good to you, thus not being your real friends. Indeed, do your therapy and maybe discuss this conflict with your therapist and they may even tell you to do what I recommend.

Quit seeing your friends and just talk to your therapist. Or quit drugs and stop doing your friends. Or see your therapist to stop feeling the numb. Also, congrats for getting a therapist and losing the drugs.

Dump your therapist and your druggie "friends." Buddy up with the drunks and fix your problems with alcohol. Cheers!

Yeah that’s some bullshit advice lol, definitely keep up with your therapist, explore healthy outlets like good diet, exercise, journal writing, meditation, etc. & try new social events as you can in order to replace these so called “friends.” The answer is definitely NOT to ignore how you feel or make yourself more numb. Good luck OP
