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, 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

If you're happy in your own skin then forget what anybody else has to say. However if I were paying that much for someone to listen to me, bitch better not be calling me fat. Find a new therapist.

Part of me wanted to say you deserve it, because if he said that you must be WAYYYYY overwheight. But then I thought that maybe he's the kind of person who thinks any girl above 150lbs is too fat... Either way, it's super unprofessionnal of him! So FYL

I had something simular happening; my psych. asked me to name something about myself I thought was pretty or good, when I couldn't come up with something she said: "well,, i think your..." and then she was silent for about a minute.

Ok to be fair most women regardless of shape are not too particularly happy about their weight. He probably was just surprised the subject doesn't bother you when for most patients he has, it does.

If u like the way feel then so be it. How dare he tell u that u need to feel a certain way about yourself. Im not the skinniest person in the world but gosh he such an asshole for taking a potshot at yur weight... It is definitely time for a new psychiatrist.

Am i the only one who sees this as a simple question? And that, if you take offence to it and cannot answer it, then you have issues? Is this just me?

Y'know, it might not be a fat reference - he might genuinely be surprised that you don't have an issue with your weight because he probably treats a lot of patients who do.

Exactly. It seems to me the outraged comments are simply showing a problem to be addressed. If there was a simple reply to his question without defensiveness, it would prove a healthy body image. This rabid frothing about "how dare he" ... well ...
