now I wanna vent

No, not the giggler.  I got rid of her.  This is the new one, who apparently is no better.

Yes, you're exactly write about the writing thing.  Geez, I'm mad at her.

She asked me if I felt suicidal at all and I admitted a little.  She said she'd always thought of me as being an intelligent person but that was very un-intelligent.

What.The ****

I'd like to think I'd have ditched her right there - but I probably would have been too stunned to move. Add to that her other ridiculous professional advice and you got a whole lot of nothing for your therapy dollar today.  (not too mention your time and emotional investment).  Really, how hard would it have to be for a therapist to just let you talk/vent?

You need a different therapist.  I know, I know, you just got her and it's a pain to get a new one.  But you don't have anything invested in her yet and if it were me, I'd bail asap.  Anyone that says that to someone who had the guts to admit what you did to a fairly new therapist will not be able to help you Kelly. 

I'm sorry your having such a crap time.  It seems like stuff is really piling up on you - even from where I sit so it has to be absolutely overwhelming to be actually experience it.

Hang in there girlie.  It's gonna have to get better.   ((((hugs))))

{{{{{HUGS!!!!!}}}}}

I think everyone has already given you good advice and I have no experience with what you are going through.  All I can offer is a shoulder to cry on and unending hugs and an ear to listen whenever you need it.  I hope you find something to make you feel better soon.

Be well my friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please hang in there!!

Kelly, I am sorry u r not happy with your therapist today.  I just want to tell you that when I was really bad off and swinging (mood wise) photo therapy was suggested to me as well.  Theer is something about NATURAL sunlight that helps people like us.  Its not instant and its not the end all to be all, but it does help.  It seems she have been a little condescending,but it does help.

A token of appreciation for Kelly. Hope it's worth a smile.

I walked in depressed
Looking for a willing ear
            You talked right past me


You were dismissive
And said "unintelligent"
           (... I pay you for this?)


You're glad I got mad
I really didn't need that
         But it worked for you


I don't need more sun
Or silly haiku advice
          Time to say "Ta-ta"

Kelly, I am so sorry that this happened.  I just want to say that I find your posts/insights/information very helpful and have always had a soft spot in my heart for you.  This therapist sounds like a bully to me.  You don't deserve that so I am glad that you will find someone else.  Waste no more time or head-space on her and her bad behavior.  She ain't worth it-but you are!  You are a gem.  I will be thinking of you and sending good vibrations your way.
