Do you ever feel like you get the blame for something you didn't do soley because you're the client?

My T is going to a conference in December and will miss our session. So normally when that happens, I schedule an appt with my Pdoc for that week fir support and someone to check in with. My Pdoc's assistant called me to make the appt for December. I asked her if I could make that appt and still keep my appt this Friday. She told me I didn't have an appt this Fri?!?! My Pdoc had to schedule me last time for 6 weeks because she was so busy. The freaking receptionist didn't put in my appt again...

Two appts ago, the receptionist changed my appt because my Pdoc had a meeting. But she told me the wrong time. So I wound up showing up late and had to wait an hour for her to fit me in. And I got the blame!

It's b.s. I never miss my appts. To me it's not a doctor appt. My Pdoc isn't just my doctor. She's a support for me. I need her. Why would I miss my appt? It's too important. But no...I'm the "mental health client" so it's my fault. Or there will be some excuse that I'm not being patient and they're busy so mistakes will happen. It's not fair. Either the receptionist hates me or is a complete screwup.

At least this time I have the appt card proving it's the receptionist's fault.
