Hello. Sorry we didn’t stay in touch, are you ok?
Smack my hands and tell me I am crazy why don’t you? As I was going home today, I got a call on my cell phone from someone. I answered and I said, “hello.” A lady answered back and said, “Hello. Sorry we didn’t stay in touch, are you ok?”
I said, “sorry, who is this?”
She said, “I am Dr. xxxx. The psychologist from campus that saw you back in October. Are you ok? I haven’t heard back from you and you missed your appointments.”
I said, “ah. Oh. Yah sorry. Life got busy you know, and actually went down hill since very early November with my job and life, etc..”
She said, “are you still employed in the same place?”
I said, “yes. Unfortunately.”
She said, “Well, are you ok?”
I said, “No. Not really. I think I turned into a worse person than I ever was. I became this blunt uncaring person. I just say what is on my mind and I don’t care anymore about the consequences.”
She said, “how blunt? It’s ok to express your self and say what is on your mind as long as you are considerate to others. You need to control your rage. I think you need to come in for real for a consolation with me because you seem to take out your rage in an unhealthy manner. This time you have to show up.”
I said, “listen. I missed my appointments the first time because I didn’t want to go anymore. You calling me 7 months after is not going to help anymore and a bit odd.”
She said, “you really need to come in, and you still have vivid signs of denial and depression. Also, are you looking for new work? I think it will help changing your environment completely.”
My tone changed and I became a bit irritated and said, “listen!!!! I have actively been looking for work for the past month. Obviously, I don’t want to be here and I can’t quit. I am stuck. You want to know how to help me. FIND ME A JOB!”
She paused a bit for a few seconds.
She then said, “I will make an appointment for you next week. This time show up.”
She then said bye and hung up.
I was so mad! I couldn’t believe her. What the hell is wrong with people? Can’t they leave me the hell alone!
Screw it.. I am not going.

That was weird, presumptuous and unprofessional of her to set up an appointment when you made it clear that you didn’t want to go. You can’t make a person seek help if they don’t want it. She of all people should know that. I would stay well clear of someone unprofessional. :huh:
It was a free consultation. The all are since it is part of the university. I think it is the season since all the students are out! Blaaaaaaah!
She then said, “I will make an appointment for you next week. This time show up.”
:rofl:
That is one determined shrink…
I KNOW!!
Wow … that is one unprofessional psychologist.
I think business is slow for her and she is desperately trying to get your money
It may have been unprofessional, but it also may be a good opportunity to get a fresh perspective on things. I would go. What have you got to lose?
Believe me… those free ones up in SDC are useless!
It sounds like she’s desperate. I think your shrink needs a shrink.
u can ignore her.. but do not ignore your problem.. see someone else whome u are comfortable wif..
Ditch her. Go and see a nice movie instead.
