Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out the psychiatrist who treats me for bipolar disorder died. He committed suicide. FML
Today, my psychologist broke up with me, professionally. It's alright though, she told me it's her, not me. FML
Today, my therapist died from a heart attack, all while telling me not to stress over anything. FML
Today, my psychologist canceled our appointment due to Covid. I'm a mess and was looking forward to our meeting, it's the only constant thing in my life. FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. 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, my psychiatrist literally said the words, ”I don’t know how to help you anymore” to me. I have never felt more hopeless. FML
Today, I finally decided to open up to my supervisor about my horrible depression. I was crying my eyes out in her office when she announced that she had to leave and go to a meeting, leaving me to cry alone in her office. FML
Today, my psychiatrist said, "Well, good luck." at the end of my appointment. FML
Today, I found out my cousin - who suffers from bipolar disorder - shot herself in the chest and has only a 20 percent chance of living. I told my boyfriend, while crying, and he held me for a few minutes. As soon as I got quiet, he pulled out his iPhone and started playing a shooter game. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sometimes the people best at helping others, cannot help themselves. I've known MANY people who had good, solid relationship advice...and had the worst relationships. They couldn't do for themselves, but they help/ed a lot of people. I would also suggest learning from his last lesson; as bad as you feel about him doing this...your family & friends would go through that but a million times *worse* if you had taken your own life. Pretty awful stuff. :(

I hope you are doing ok after that shock. Some psychologists just kinda switch off after awhile in the profession. I am bi-polar and have borderline personality disorder and almost died due to such a psychiatrist that simply had turned himself off and no longer cared about his patients, probably to numb himself out. Find a new psychologist you trust and continue with treatments, it's a battle, but one worth fighting.

Bi-polar syndrome isn't a disease, it's an excuse.

People like you and other people commenting on this with shitty remarks toward this person make me sick. Keep your uneducated bullshit opinions to yourself. It's people like you that make it difficult to cope with these problems for people in everyday life because you have some ******* pathetic idea about something you have never even bothered to try and understand. You disgust me.

He probably did it just to spite you.

Oh and chin up! Your psychologist was trying to help people. Unfortunately sometimes the people that try to help us forget that they can't do it all by themselves either. Everyone needs a support network so don't give up on people. Just don't lose sight of what's important like your doctor did. Hopefully the next one realises they need to take care of themselves in order to help others.

I bet her little feelings couldn't handle that, and therefore, she blamed herself for his death and blah blah. Bi-polar = fake
