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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML
Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML
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
Today, my mum wants me to see a psychologist because I've been acting strange lately. If by "strange" she means "not wanting to die any more", then sure. But thanks, I could've used that psychologist 3 years ago when I asked for one. FML
Today, my distraught mom called me, saying my dad had killed himself and to come home right away. After cussing out my math teacher for trying to stop me and rushing back home in a taxi, I ran into the living room, only to find my parents laughing so hard they were practically in tears. FML
Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML
Today, my dad refused to pick me up because he didn't want to get off the couch, so I had to walk for an hour and a half to get home. When I finally got home, my dad had gone out to pick my sister up from her friend's house. Her friend lives a 3-minute walk away. FML
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML
Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

For most people, it's not something you just get over. It's something you deal with for the rest of your life. My dad died from brain cancer when I was 12 and I struggle with it everyday.

maybe try talking to a good friend instead of a therapist?
mmizbbz210 13
Talking to a friend is good in times like this, yes but losing a love one is extremely hard. Seeking the help of a good professional(obviously not this one) is better. Psychologists go to school to understand exactly how the mind works and can help better than a friend can.

Plus sometimes friends aren't available when you need them. OP's decision to seek professional help is admirable. The psychologist needs their degree ripped in half and sent back all the way to undergraduate school. It sounds like they got their degree out of a cereal box and need to go back to learn something this time. Also the OP should be sure to mention what the psychologist did to people and on any review type sites that psychologists are on.

Well, now you know to find a new shrink. This one obviously wasn't paying attention. Either that or they're just an ass.

Sadly, I'm leaning towards the latter. That doesn't even sound like a slip of the tongue because the therapist didn't ask "are your parents picking you up?" or "is someone picking you up?", instead they specifically mentioned the dad. Sounds like an asshole imo. :(

Yea, I'm more leaning to the drugs side. Hes def tripping out. Either way, you really need a new therapist

What an asshole

Dang, the fact that these psychiatrists are paid to ignore people makes me mad
woainishamu 21
The person in the fml is a psychologist. A psychiatrist has gone through medical school and can prescribe medicine. A psychologist can't prescribe. So, there is a huge difference.

My mistake I got auto corrected, but you learn something new every day
nightbirdblue 27
Some idiotic, asshat psychologists give all psychologists a bad name.
