@InnerZone: that's tragic. She should lose her license. It's always so hard when you finally ask for help and you get nonsense. So demoralizing. Hope you feel better these days.

Another piece of stupid advice i got was when i was asking my psychiatrist if i should keep having ex-sex with my former partner. She said i should because 'it keeps the lines of communication open.' Well: we weren't talking. We were f&*king. Having ex-sex is one of the greatest regrets of my life. I was so heart-broken and vulnerable and so totally alone and my former partner was on top of the world as his parents had just came into a pile of money and he was so excited all the time he was horny... and he preyed on me. With my psychiatrist's blessing. Idiot!!!
