???? I know I suck at communicating but can they at least try to work with me?? My psychiatrist is the only one who doesn't misunderstand everything that I say. She took me saying "I don't want a new therapist" as "I miss blankblank and I don't want someone to replace him". I don't understand how she gets that from that? But maybe I don't communicate like everyone else. Apparently. Because things like this happen to me all the time. I just wanted reassurance. They keep saying how they want me to communicate my feelings to them, but every time I do something like this happens. How am I supposed to keep making myself vulnerable like that?
The world is full of clumsy oafs. I don't suppose the nurse meant to hurt you.
