my new therapist has really helped me out. The others said that i needed meds and it was my illness talking and not me. They took my money and i got worse. Waaaaay worse.My current one saved my life however i had an incident. Am i reading into this?I went to my therapist today at 11:30. Turns out that the appointment was for 11 and I was late at the hospital.I have never been late. Dunno how i got confused. She didn't seem pissed but I felt really really bad. I asked her what could be done and she said that we still had 30 minutes and I felt really really hurt. We talked for 5 minutes and suddenly there was a siren and we had to evacuate the wing. On the way out she was talking to her friend who is a doctor and I was walking alone. I felt so rejected and terrible. She obviously didn't charge me and we fixed a new appointment for Monday. I have been diagnosed as being bipolar and am very depressed right now. Only person who has ever helped me is my therapist. Have important exams in a few days and don't know what to do. My friends were total jerks to me and i helped them a lot monetarily and emotionally but they just left when i needed someone to talk to.
My response
Dude you are like a fucking eggshell. How old are you?
- You were late for an appointment. Sucks, but it's your fault, deal with it. Not much else to say there.
- You attempted to have the last 30 minutes of your session, admirable. However, you expecting this person with their own job and their own appointments to give you an extra 30 minutes, ("I felt really really hurt" when she told you you could take the last 30 minutes of therapy with her) when you were late to your own appointment, is extremely astounding and says a lot about how entitled you feel. You are entitled to NOTHING. You were late, suck it up. You're lucky she didn't cancel the whole thing entirely.
- Emergency situation at the hospital. Sucks, but it happens. Also, you are a patient to her, not a friend, not a buddy, not ANYTHING resembling a friend. Of course she's going to speak to Doctor Chad Chaddington III. Everyone walks alone fucking everywhere dude, unless you're hanging out with friends, then, obviously not.
- Good you got another appointment and weren't charged for that one. Technically she could have charged you for the half hour you weren't there, probably, though you probably could have disputed it as well.
- Exams? You better fucking study. You're not in college to fuck around, idiot, if these are college exams. You're there to learn and get a damn DEGREE. Hope you didn't get a huge ass student loan.
- If you were diagnosed as bipolar chances are you will be put on meds and shoved off so your therapist can see the next patient. Sure you can talk about your feelings with the therapist but if nothing is getting solved and the therapist sees this, you're getting some form of medication one way or another. However Therapy is an important part of taking meds and is highly recommended to do while taking them.
- Your current friends are not actual friends at all. Get new ones. I mean if you just wanna keep shelling out to keep some people around, by all means. But most guys have their own emotional baggage to take care of, they can't hold someone else's. But giving money to friends is almost never a good idea unless you're paying them back for something or paying them to HELP you do something. Sounds like these guys just took advantage of you. It'll take a long time, but you'll get new friends. Whether or not they're actual friends or not is up to you to decide.
Downvote me all you want but you know I'm fucking right. I will never tell anyone to man up because that's a bullshit excuse to not offer actual advice or insight into a situation that someone is trying to hide from.
Also if you want a tiny piece of candy, good on you for posting what happened. But yeah, men are disposable, I'm surprised you even got an hour of therapy. Probably required by the insurance or something.
