I'm in this FML and I don't like it
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

Thanks for the support
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

Funny story
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

Great first impression
Today, I finally spoke to a counsellor about my depression. As soon as the session started, I became so anxious that I could barely speak. Once the Zoom call was finished, I got the distinct impression that she thought I was mentally disabled. FML

Messed up
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 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, 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 shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML

Then what's the point of his meetings if people who need the most help can't get it?!

Ouch. So much for a self-esteem boost.

MUDKIP!! How depressed are you OP? No one can be too depressed to join a group, that's ridiculous!

Mudkip is hands down the best starter Pokemon out of all the others out there.

^Bullshite. Charmander is the best starter.

58 - Double bullshit! SQUITLE is the smartest, and evolves to have ******* hydrocannons!
gracehi 33
#64, I must disagree. There is no greater fire pokemon than Charizard and no greater grass pokemon than Venasaur (at least in my day when there were only 150 pokemon), but Garydos is a far superior water pokemon to Blastoise.

Squirtle IS a boss.

Don't argue with me, son. I'm a pokemon OG. :P
THE_A_TEEN 28
Let's agree that the 1st Generation starters are the best of the series. Oh, and squirtle would be more of a boss if he had those shades from the original Pokémon Anime.
SkoomaKi 28
79 - Agreed.

How is it that #70 was made in reply to #71 o.O
Cad6 24
A Magnet-Mite be the best starter, all though attraction isn't always the best (it only works on women). Pokemon always makes me so damn Drowzee. MY starter pokemon is my girlfriend. She never wears Abra. And, she likes it in the Meowth. What else could you want? Charmander? Squirtle? This shit is Onix-ceptable.

Depression is a serious medical condition which, when goes untreated, can cause people to become even worse. I have depression and take medication for it.

Exactly. They have defiled a classic with a stupid obnoxious cartoon that has changed the sanctity of cartoons. You should be ashamed.

I'd be depressed and hopeless too, if I was paying someone $100+ an hour. Op, how about taking that money and use it for things that make you happy.
Roxxxxay 13
Because buying stuff really helps to get happy.

^ Well, it'll take your mind off things for awhile that's for sure.

Retail therapy is the best
LunaDragon 10
67- Yes, buying stuff can make you happy. Having a nice car, clothes you like, eating at nice restaurants with your favorite foods, getting yourself any extras can bring you some measure of happiness. I don't think you can find happiness by paying someone to hear your problems or wanting to sit in a room full of other depressed people, getting more depressed by listening to their problems, or a way to get out of a depression, but if Op has chemical imbalance or such, or needs grief counseling then I can understand the need to talk to a professional, but other than that I don't see it as a justifiable expense, but that's just my opinion.

Ywah, I think that money can buy happiness. If I didn't have money, I couldn't buy any materials to art with. Art-ing makes me extremely happy.

Sorry, just had to get in here. Depression is a medical condition, one with a lot of stigma, mockery and dismissal, but medical nonetheless. I have it, and no amount of shopping or thinking positively or anything stupid like that will help. You actually need serious professional help. Look it up, it's a good thing to be aware of. Sorry for the rant, couldn't help it. Apologies for wasting your time :/
DooleyFTW 17
FYL, maybe you'd benefit more from one on one sessions than group therapy where a lot of people tend to be shy and not share their problems! Not to sound mean but you could also bring down other recovering members of the group. I hope you solve your problems soon OP :)
cwhaley2017 0
That sounds smart, of your depressed maybe people in that class could help you outside of class :) just so you can be happy again :) keep your head up:)

Tell the rapist he has failed you yet again. Have you thought about exercising? That's an all natural way to beat depression.
batman_516 9
Just because exercising releases endorphins, does not mean that it will correct the serotonin/dopamine imbalance in your brain. Sport stars can suffer from depression as well!
MaskingTape 2
Actually, exercise releases dopamine. Thats the rush you get following the gym. Gotta love the reward center.
twisted_cherub 14
I hate my reward center. It makes me crave carbs; and chocolate; and red meat, cooked medium-rare, smothered in cheese, with steamed broccoli on the side soaking up all the left-over juices; and anything involving chili & cheese. Damn, stupid diet. Stupid pleasure center of my brain. Stupid chocolate.
fuckmebutdontfml 16
75 you made me hungry!!! and depressed because I have none of that to eat :(
twisted_cherub 14
I'm sorry. They have goodies at the plant I pick up at every night and I'm not allowed to have any. It sucks so bad. I have to walk straight to the sign in/out office and straight out, watching my feet the entire way, to not give in to temptation.

Rapist?
batman_516 9
Exercise in itself does not actually release dopamine. As you said, it's related to the reward centre, which means your brain produces/releases when you do something that your brain feels deserves a reward. So while it correlates to exercise, it is not necessarily causal.

What an arse! Hes supposed to be helping you!
niall92 6
I think he is. Different kinds of depression must be treated differently. Ultimately it's the psychologist who knows what's best for OP.
