DUMPED THE "THERAPIST"

[Unattainable666]

Well, after careful consideration I dumped the therapist. The thought that she had control over my life in deciding whether to put me in-patient was more than I could handle. The anxiety was overwhelming. I could have lost everything I worked so hard for. I am DONE with therapists. I'm going to work on myself and do the best I can. I still want to ctb, but until I do, I am going to do what I can to live my life the happiest I can. This was a huge eye opener. To actually go to someone who should have been there to listen to me and not judge me. I didn't even tell her I was suicidal!!! I told her a few things that had happened to me in my lifetime and that's when she said "You need to be in patient." I absolutely REFUSE to allow anyone to have any control over my life. I am done with therapists.

Good on you for stopping going to therapy. Therapists aren't for everyone, and you shouldn't let anyone have control over your life like that. I'll assume in-patient means the psych ward. It's pretty crazy for a therapist to diagnose you and tell you to go to one just based off a few experiences you told her. I guess they just let anyone nowadays become a therapist.

That's the spirit, some therapist are either really shitty or good, sadly it seems more shitty, but yeah live your life to the fullest before you feel your ready to ctb, life is random it can either be amazing or so fucking horrible we wish to die

Good for you! She clearly wasn't listening to you.

@Unattainable666 that must've been really scary to hear her say that, I would freak out too. I don't blame you for being angry. Sorry she has let you down-they are definitely not all like that because others have said they're having extremely open conversations with their therapists and they are not reacting like that. Sorry you got a dud! Wish you best of luck putting in the work yourself, and at least hopefully now you'll have much less anxiety to deal with.

good for you, even though you still want to ctb you sound like you're in a really healthy state of mind. Keep working on yourself & enjoying life until you decide to leave it.

Great to hear that you finally got rid of her. That is definitely someone who's doing their job for the sake of money. It's just insane to me how we can't even get help at places we are supposed to.

I am tired of therapists. I an tired of my therapist. She is so useless she finishes session in less than 20 minutes each time. I just have a hard time letting go of trash i guess
