More Therapist Nonsense
When my life was emptying out: school was over, work options were slim to none and I had no desire to go to others; my therapist said "There are other ways of committing suicide."
Without mentioning how many years I have experienced since this time; it is one more reason I won't ever take a therapist seriously. Before a professional says "Not all therapists..." I gambled and lost in therapy.
I exited in a worse place than where I began. My doctor was a fan of the teasing (A.K.A. Harassment) my father used compromising our relationship. He acted like I was worthless, could not do anything in the present and nothing in the future.
And yet, I wasn't supposed to kill myself. Now that I am older and have maintained work relationships, there are many who do the same thing every day and never learn. They will be no better on this day next year as they are right now.
Some people make me wonder if they learned anything since the day they were born. One reason I did not have friends was therapists took up an inordinate amount of time. Telling the same story to different doctors- it was like being stuck in the police station.

The smartest thing I ever did was pull the plug on these sessions. I asked if he had a waiting list. When he replied "Yes"- maybe it was time for the next client who might be accused of turning gay because he did not feel like dating or running the risk of demonic possession.
Wasn't that why I was "Crazy?" He used that word all the time to the point it meant nothing. Doctors can create more problems than are ever solved.
Remember this as I return to work and the same people make the same mistakes, stand around while the conditions have changed and treat the job as a way to fund their marijuana habit. As many hourly employees who come to work late and leave early- they must be millionaires.
Staying home and strategizing your next move when options are not good is not tantamount to a suicide attempt. Those sessions were a waste of time of money. They did not kill me. They certainly make me stronger.
Maybe I took a little time away from this site. That is not "suicide". Fail some suicide attempts and you will think twice about downing a bottle of sleeping pills. People can lead lackadaisical lives and outlast many who work hard and cover for the lazy. If you don't trust a therapist and cannot speak because every idea will be shot down- it was as big of a failure in my life as The War on Drugs.
