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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 girlfriend left me, saying she'd started to appreciate herself more with the help of a therapist. That I paid for her to visit. FML
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. FML
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, my psychiatrist of 6 years suddenly and out of nowhere told me I need to see someone else. She gave me the equivalent of the "it's not you, it's me" speech. Actually her assistant told me via email. I basically got broken up with by someone I was paying a lot of money to talk to. FML
Today, I tried therapy to talk about my problems without feeling like i am harassing anyone. After messaging a therapist for over 2 hours, I felt way better and finally understood. It turned out I'm in such a bad mental state that I'm a danger to myself and others. Police were called by the therapist. FML
Today, after breaking down in front of my therapist over some really sensitive issues, she decided to also break down. Not about my story but about her own life. I'm not being paid to comfort and console my therapist. FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

One of my friends has a T-Shirt proclaiming that they take the 'the' out of psychotherapist.

Totally out of line. Her phone should be off during a session. I'd let her know that you would appreciate her full attention during sessions, as you're paying a lot of money for it.

You know, much as that sucks, I believe that the very fact that you have the sense of humor to FML about it is a good sign, you're gonna be just fine ;)

YDI for contributing to her new BMW. I think the OP should tell us about his problems in this thread.

Heh. Nobody is that rude? Dude, you should inhale deeply, go outside and take a huge bite of the thing you call "reality."

Was the call from the dealer or the shop to discuss something important about the car? Or, was it from one of her friends and she prattled on like a Valley Girl about how awesome it was to have such a sweet ride and all she had to get it was pretend to listen to whiny-ass, teaty babies bitch about their made-up and exaggerted "problems?"

Find another therapist.

As a psychotherapist, I am appalled. Certainly find another therapist because they are not all like that. I would never do something like that. Heck, I can barely afford to keep my 98 Ford Explorer running anyways. I hope you find someone that can help you and will be more professional. You are not alone in your feelings or in life.

Perhaps no one cares about you because you whine too much. Depression is the mind's way of telling you that something is wrong. You just need to figure it out. There are plenty of other people in life who deal with similar problems and who just might be in the same boat as you, if not worse. Egocentrism is not a virtue.

Blastvortex, this is one of the worst things you can say to a depressed person. Depression is a disease, it's not a character flaw or whininess. People die from this illness. Think before you speak, because that was really insensitive. OP, you deserve better. A good therapist should gives you his/her undivided attention at all times during a session, because that's what they're getting paid for. Definitely look for someone else. Eventually you should find a good fit. Good on you for getting help. It's not always easy, and it's a sign of strength.

don't expect anyone to care. everything isn't about you. toughen up.

Actually, you are right -- no one cares. That's why psychotherapists get the big bucks. Since, no one cares in reality, they've made a job where you can get paid a fortune to pretend you do care, and for the 50-minute hour, everything IS about the customer. Same scheme as the lap dance.
