Today, my psychiatrist asked me if I felt bad about my weight. When I said no, he looked surprised and said, "Why not?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the doctor to talk about my depression and low self-esteem. He told me that I shouldn't think of myself as a fat pig for being overweight. I don't think that and I'm NOT overweight. FML
Today, I started seeing a new therapist and told him everything that was going on in my life. He asked me if I was suicidal; I said no. He paused and asked me, "Why not?" FML
Today, my coworker asked me if I was on a diet for my New Year's resolution. When I said no, she replied, "Why not?" FML
Today, my psychiatrist said, "Well, good luck." at the end of my appointment. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my boyfriend. Everything seemed to be going well, when all of a sudden he turned to look at me with a pensive and thoughtful expression. I expected him to say something important, but instead he just said, "I was wondering, how does it feel to be fat?" FML
Today, I found out the medication my doctor gave me for depression is making me fat. My main reason for depression is an eating disorder. Now, I'm fat instead of just thinking I am. FML
Today, my parents came for a visit and spent the whole time pressuring me to ask my doctor for medication to lose weight. FML

Today, at my therapy appointment, I was spilling my guts to my therapist. When I'd finished, to get rid of the awkward silence, I asked, "I'm not crazy, right?" His response was, "That's bit of a loaded question." FML

That sucks! Oh well, I guess he just wasn't thinking before he opened his mouth. Still pretty rude, though!

You'd get better support from a personal trainer than that shrink

What if OP wasn't overweight, just extremely thin or anorexic? I think if he/she did have such an eating disorder, it wouldn't have been so innapropriate.

Tell him to shut the **** up and give you more drugs.

You should say "Same reason you don't feel bad about being a terrible psychiatrist."

Being surprised doesn't always mean he's insulting you. So many people these days do feel bad about their weight even if they don't have a problem, he may have been gladly surprised. Although, even if that were the case, he still reacted badly.

Should've scrolled farther down before saying exactly what you said 0-0 and yeah he could have reacted better but come on since when has weight been a non-delicate issue? There are misunderstandings between even the most comfortable of partners, ya know? Then a shrink has to walk the line between getting someone to spill their beans for them and maintaining a professional air...

And fyi OP, if in fact your weight does happen to be an issue, you still shouldn't feel bad about it. One of the first things to losing weight is to be comfortable with yourself the way you are.

Can you quit typing that? It's not awkward in any way and it's getting really annoying seeing that post on the past 5 fmls.

maybe he was trying to extract a positive answer from you by saying that which would make you feel better and distract you from your original problem. he might have been expecting an answer like "no, why should i?! i love my body. people tell me i have good assets and i get hit on all the time!" :). then he might have continued to tell you to keep that kind of confidence in every sphere of life. if thats not what happened, then its clearly unproffessional of him!
