That’s obnoxious. What appointment was it for? This happened with a therapist I had. It was awful. She’d also yawn a lot and seemed annoyed when I’d start venting (reason for appointment). Like I felt rushed.

isn't that, like, the opposite of what a therapist is supposed to do?

I had a therapist once who used to try and one up me during our sessions. After the third appointment, had to stop seeing her.

I went to one who literally answered anything I said with "yeah, yeah, no definitely". I didn't have anger issues before seeing her but I sure did after those sessions.

Finally tried out therapy about a year ago. On like the 2nd session dude was like "you just need a girlfriend". I was kinda trying to get into and work on my deep-seated issues and childhood traumas and whatnot but home boy just wanted to prescribe me some pussy and then bail

Had the same thing with dealing with grief after my grandfather passed away when I was a teenager- suffered from depression and had a hard time finding a reason to get out of bed let alone anything else. Two sessions in and the therapist I was seeing suggested me getting a job to take my mind off of my grief. Worked hard to follow his advice and now I'm burnt out and depressed.

Oh god I know the feeling.. if you're ever unemployed for a brief time you feel like a worthless POS, then you start working again and now you're just a worthless POS with a bit more money in your pocket. And personal wellbeing and self care just starts to fall by the wayside as you get burnt out and go thru the motions so you can earn your right to exist

Real. Turns out making money is not the meaning of life?

Exactly, because money does nothing. People just decided to give it an arbitrary value and expect everyone to have it, but no one really wants it, because generally they have a thousand (exaggerative) copies with the same number and incredibly miniscule differences that MAKE IT LIKE ART...but it's seen more like over production with too little distribution to actually be okay with it, which is exactly what it is. .....and yet people criticize you if you do anything other than spend it on things you may also not really want.
