Therapists

[Dreamline]

I told mine today about this fight I got into w/ my mom recently.  I told her I flipped out and at one point threw a bag of hamburger.  I told her about this really crappy mood I was in last week because of the tramadol.  So obviously I was flipping out because of that (I felt horrible and couldn't do anything about it)...normally I don't get that pissed and never do I throw stuff at people.  She then says "that was very immature...etc."  I was like WTF???  I didn't even know what to say to that because it blew my mind that she even would say that.  That was not very productive today, seriously WTF?  That just pissed me off and equally I was frustrated at the complete lack of understanding there.  Until today I have never had any problems w/ my therapist.  Next time I am going to straighten it out since I am over the shock.

I guess I'll just get over it, fuck it...I just really hate waisting my money and time.

 Sometimes they say things that we don't want to hear, but that's kind of their job...and you did say that you normally don't throw things at people, so you know that is not the way to behave rationally. It's hard for us to be rational though...but if we try, we can keep ourselves under control. As far as the immature comment goes...if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? 20's? That could be why the therapist said that, you are young, but old enough to know better?

I'm 28, the last time I threw food was when I was in elementary school.  I just don't know why she said that because to me it didn't need to be said...I mean I know.  I even thought that myself, like "geez that was stupid".  I think the reason it pissed me off was that I can't stand immature acting people...its one thing to be playing around but certain people don't know when to be serious.  That shit annoys me and then for somebody to say something I did was immature (when I don't normally do that)....  

On a funny note: When I was talking to her I had a peice of paper in my hand, balling it up.  Throwing it never crossed my mind, I was only doing it to figet...but I wonder if she thought I was going to throw it at her...I hope not.

I dunno how I missed this. I guess it's old news now and you're obviously 'over it'. Just to let you know, I think we all have these feeling, just different ways of acting out on it. If I'm in a particularly foul mood I will throw things, not usually at people but just in general at the wall or kick a wall etc etc.  I can't say it's immature behaviour or just the way some people react. I know I am immature alot of times, I have these massive responsibilities so when I get the chance to be a little brat about things I will act out on it.

Doh' i didnt realize this was a poll. but yea my t annoys the piss out of me. we usually talk about her life, her problems, her meds, her usband, i think i know more about her than she knows about me.

[Dreamline]

Wow, yours sounds like she is the patient and you're the therapist.  Yikes, can you switch to a different one?

[goosemuffin]

Yes I'm  actually in the process of moving to a diff county so I'll have much more options. I don't know what I'll do with a diff dr and t....maybe get my head on straight?

I haven't been to a therapist in a few years. He released me. But I talk with my pdoc sometimes - she always asks whats going on. I tell her and blhablahblah. I haven't had any problems, but I might come June when I go in again to see her and he finds out I'm weaning myself off of my meds. Yeah, I don't think that is going to go over well.

[Dreamline]

LOL, yeah that probably won't go over good but hell its YOUR body you know?  I told mine about how I was thinking about stopping mine one time and she said; you don't want to do that, if you're going to, let the doctor know and get off it gradually, I don't reccomend that either.
