I know how it feels to have no support!! It upsets me that your doctor was not there for you, she had no right to go on about things in her life, you are there to get help and not to be her friend. I had a similar problem with a therapist, I finally quit seeing her. Do you have to get a referral to see a psychologist or a therapist? Is there any way to set up an appointment with someone on your own? If not, maybe you can ask to have a different doctor or a different psychiatrist and then get a referral from them? I hope you can figure something out.

I know how it feels to have family that doesn't understand too. My family is better than they were before (they were in denial for years), but they still don't quite understand and say inappropriate and triggering things at times. I know there are books available to help people understand better, but I don't feel right saying "here, you need to read this so you can help me".

You're not alone in how you feel, and I wish you the best!!
