Had a very bad day. Everything was fine until i went to my therapy session for the day. I was feeling pretty anxious about it because I have a great deal of trouble opening up to anyone except my pdoc/t (who is on holiday).

Therapist seemed fine at first but when the conversation got to my ''negative views about the future'' she said the following: ''You need to realize that you have your whole life ahead of you and you shouldn't dwell in the past. You can still succeed in your career and have children or accomplish whatever life goals you happen to have.'' That might sound like a fairly innocent statement, but my therapist had obviously forgotten to read my whole medical file and had just read the psych part. If she would have read that she would known that I have a fatal disease, that will kill me in 10-15 years (maybe 20 if lucky) and that the disease also prevents me from having children.

At first I first I got angry, but soon sadness overwhelmed me. I pretty much had an emotional breakdown then and there. I know that the therapist probably didn't say what she did to hurt me, but those words ended up hurting me anyways. My physical illness is a large component of my depression. To be honest I just feel even more pathetic after that therapy session, even though she did apologize after she realized her mistake. I don't know if i'm just feeling oversensitive about everything or was my reaction justified.
