Today, my therapist said, "Y'know, Sarah, you would be a lot happier if you laid off the cocaine." I don't do cocaine. I never have. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Misery likes company
Today, I told my friends that I got a therapist this past week. Every single one of them told me to quit seeing the therapist, and to just talk to them and do more drugs to feel more numb. I don't think that's the right thing to do, and they're actually arguing with me over it. FML
Today, my psycho mom walked in while I was chilling and having fun with some friends. She kicked them out and now wants to drug test me, because, "Nobody's that happy without drugs." FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. FML
Today, my therapist clapped for me when I told her I'd made a friend. 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, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. 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 therapist told me that I need to do something different with my hair. Then I paid her. FML

Time to discharge them as your therapist and find a new one, because that is completely unacceptable for several reasons. Not only are they accusing you of using illegal drugs- which means that she has likely written things in your files that say you use drugs, which is a violation of ethics- but therapists are never supposed to use accusatory or hostile language or tone. Additionally, if they suspected that you were abusing drugs, they should have not only brought it up sooner, but phrased it in a more tactful- and PROFESSIONAL- manner. You can't trust anything they tell you anymore, because they failed to act when they had reasonable suspicion. You need to get your records, get their medical practitioner information, the rate they charge, compare it to what you pay, and if you have insurance, you need to make sure they billed for the correct amount of time and diagnostic codes. If anything like that has been changed, you need to report them- but make sure you follow procedure and have a new one willing to take you. If you live in America, I suggest contacting the American Psychological Association, and if they are a member, report them for the unprofessional behavior and anything else. If not, contact your state's licensing board and file with them.

“Y’know, Sarah, you would be a lot happier if you lay off the cocaine. Susie, I’ve been off the stuff for nearly three hours, and it’s been amazing, Stella!”

You sure do assume a lot! How do you know OP is not lying, after all, addicts are the best liars!

Because even if OP is lying, the therapist still horrendously failed at their job, as I mentioned in my comment. Did you read the first few lines and skip the rest?

Well, the path to happiness is now clear. Start snorting cocaine like there's a blizzard in your sinuses, then lay off it. You'll be over the ******* moon, I'm sure (aside from the withdrawals, of course).

Maybe your wired, jittery behavior made your therapist see signs of cocaine abuse. Relax! Perhaps you should take up weed XD

Yeah, Sarah. It turns all of your bad feelings into good feelings. It's a nightmare!
