Today, my dad came home from work complaining about all the people he'd seen. He said he doesn't understand why so many people with problems have to confide in him. He's a psychologist. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I found out that my dad has a therapist. That's cool. What's cooler is that she's a very nice lady, and even said to ME that I could talk too if I wanted to. Boy, do I want to. But if I did, then she would probably need a therapist herself, and the last thing my dad needs is his therapist needing a therapist. FML
Today, my father started nagging me about my husband's mental health. He doesn't understand why my husband can't just walk it off. FML
Today, after finally seeing a psychologist about the death of my dad and spending the longest hour of my life confessing every thought I've experienced in the 6 years since his passing, my psychologist asked me if I was walking home or if my dad would be picking me up. FML
Today, my dad stood by and nodded in agreement as my sister told me that my clinical depression is "getting REALLY old." FML
Today, my dad told me that people requiring psychiatric treatment are just weak and pathetic, and what they really need is a kick up the ass and to get a fucking grip. He told me this not 30 seconds after my doctor recommended I spend some time in a facility for my severe depression. FML
Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML
Today, I found out my dad goes to therapy. Confused, I asked him what was going on. He said, "You" without any hesitation. I don't know if he's joking or not. If he is, I don't find that very funny. If he's not, I don't even know what I've done. 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
Today, I came home to find my dad drinking. Trying to be cheerful, I greeted him with a "Hi, dad!" He sighed, shook his head, and said "It hurts me when you call me that." FML

I'm studying to become a clinical psychologist and getting a phd in psychology to work with people who have mental disabilities. psychologist assess people and working through their problems based on their learnt perspectives, intact most psychologists refer patients to psychiatrists to get prescribed meds for their conditions

Seriously? I had to make a log in just to comment on people's stupidity. Psychologist are able to provide individual, family, group etc. clinical treatment (therapy) and administer psychological tests if they have their doctorate (ph.d or psy.d). psychiatrists can provide treatment but have a medical degree not a clinical one unless they are specialized. Therefore they are the only one's who can administer meds. Maybe it's different in other countries but in the states this is how it is. Sounds like he's burned out. it's like hearing teachers say they hate kids.

Well, think about this. He has to listen to depressing stories ALL DAY LONG. I mean, he's bound to be saddened by these tribulations. It's been heard of the psychiatrists visit other therapists because of the depression they develop from other patients stories. Imagine watching heartbreaking movies, or listening to depressing musix all day long. There ya go. I wanted to be a psychologist also, but I have depression problems of my own. I don't know if I could handle other's problems if I can't even handle my own. And while what your dad said is a little off color, just be understanding. He has to be understanding all day long, it can be depressing.
