Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

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 saw a psychiatrist for the first time. After telling her everything I'm going through, she looked at me and said "You know… every five years or so I get a case completely beyond my ability to help." I guess it's been five years. FML

Today, going to my psychiatrist's appointment for my PTSD and depression, my mother yelled about how useless I am and how I torture her existence with my "abnormalities." She told the doctor how much I've improved and become such a delight at home for her and our family. FML

Funny story
Today, my therapist started laughing at me whilst I was telling my story. He said, "Sorry, I can't help it" and burst out laughing. 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

Would you rather they told you to **** off?

I guess they didn’t fix your paranoia this session. How did they say good luck? Was it a way that suggested the meds were useless and luck is your only hope? Or did they say it sarcastically, so that their real wish is for your bad luck?

With finding a new psychiatrist who can help you more??? ;-) --- Actually, it's not always easy finding a psychiatrist/ psychologist with whom you can work well. Sad but true. Hope you utilize both though. Med docs aren't always careful enough with how they say things. :-( For an effective CBT tome, see Dr. David Burns' "Feeling Good: New Mood Therapy" - a good read since 1980. Good luck, OP!
