Today, I’m pregnant and have been experiencing the most severe depression of all my life. My long-time therapist asked me to think about whether “this is the right time for me to be in therapy,” then dropped me as a client. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. FML
Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML
Today, my mom found out I’m in therapy and took it as an insult, like therapy was a criticism of her parenting. Um, maybe if she hadn’t spent my childhood telling me and everyone in our family that having me was an accident, that I’ve been a huge burden, and that she should have aborted me. FML
Today, my therapist broke up with me after almost 3 years. I can’t pay people to listen to my problems. FML
Today, I’m mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, and I feel like the only person I can talk to who actually listens is my therapist. FML
Today, and for the last three months, I’ve felt super incompatible with my therapist, but I don’t know how to fire her. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". 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, I finally left my bitch girlfriend with her son, who has difficulties and violence issues. Now everyone is telling me I should go back, because the kid needs a father, never mind that I’m depressed and in therapy for suicidal urges. Guess my mental health doesn’t matter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Please go see your doctor. Pregnancy can change your brain chemistry massively and sometimes that triggers depression. You may need to go on medication short term to help relieve these very temporary symptoms. No amount of talk therapy is going to change hormonal fluctuations.

Your issues are more than a therapist can handle. You need a psychiatrist who can address some of the medical causes of your depression. Of course, even the best psychiatrist can't fix climate change, Vladimir Putin, the rise of nationalism leading to autocracy, massive voter suppression and the trampling of women's right. You'd have to be a complete nut job to NOT be depressed these days.

Ugh. Sadly i can agree with you on that. But sadly, very few meds are baby friendly. My wife found that out when a non friendly med caused us to lose our child.
