Today, I made an appointment with a therapist because lately I've been feeling alone and like no one cares about me. I waited at her office for about forty minutes before the receptionist informed me that she must have forgotten about the appointment. Even my therapist stands me up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized it's been over a month since my last therapy session. My therapist canceled on me and never got back in touch to reschedule. FML
Today, I had to bring my youngest (a 3 year-old) with me to my therapist's, due to not having childcare. After waiting 10 minutes, the receptionist called me up to the desk to inform me that my therapist wouldn’t be seeing me, because of my child being there. Nothing like wasting an hour of my time. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML
Today, I had an appointment with a psychotherapist. I was feeling very depressed and was telling her how I felt no one cared about me. Her phone rang and she left me mid-sentence to take a call about her new BMW. FML
Today, after checking in and waiting for three hours to see the doctor, the receptionist said she forgot about me because she didn't see me. She asked me to come back tomorrow. I was sitting right in front of her. FML
Today, the psychiatrist who I've been relying on to evaluate my condition to give me some real help, who I've been waiting on my appointment with for three months, suddenly rescheduled me until February next year. Why? Because she's "not working that day". I can't afford to see anyone else. FML
Today, after spending almost an hour in the dentist's waiting room, watching other people get called in for their appointments, I finally lost my patience and asked the receptionist what was taking so long. I'd forgotten to sign in. FML
Today, my former therapist told me she couldn't give me the support I need and hung up on me. We haven't worked together in almost a year, but I really need the billing statements to file insurance. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, I had two different doctor's appointments with different specialists at the same hospital. Doctor #1 kept me waiting so long doctor #2 refused to see me. I tried to explain I was in the building and why I was late, but he wouldn’t hear it. I’d already waited 4 months for these appointments. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#32 - There are plenty of excellent therapists out there. There are also some crappy ones. Making a generalization that they're all worthless because you had a bad experience with one person does a huge disservice to all the people who could be greatly helped by seeing a therapist. I think I saw 5 people before finding someone I really like. Not all therapists are right for all patients. And anyone who says "just go out and live life" doesn't get it. Of course going out and doing things is important, but sometimes people have to figure out *how* to do that, which can be especially hard for someone who doesn't have a lot of friends or just moved to a new area.

Something similar happened to be a few months back. My therapist clinic moved, but she forgot to tell me (I later learned they moved in a rush i.e. 4 hours). I was very confused when I showed up and the doors were papered....

#8 FTW, The Secret is pretty sweet OP - I've been there too. Shit, sometimes I still feel like that - everyone does. But just because we feel like that doesn't mean it's true - I'm sure there are a lot of people who care about you a lot, sometimes it's just difficult for us to see it. At the very least, look how many people there are on this website that care enough to post comments sympathizing/empathizing with you! :) To quote Pac, "I know it seems hard sometimes but uhh... Remember one thing: Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out, keep ya head up and handle it" (From Me Against The World)
