I went to my therapist today at 11:30. Turns out that the appointment was for 11 and I was late at the hospital.I have never been late. Dunno how i got confused. She didn't seem pissed but I felt really really bad. I asked her what could be done and she said that we still had 30 minutes and I felt really really hurt. We talked for 5 minutes and suddenly there was a siren and we had to evacuate the wing. On the way out she was talking to her friend who is a doctor and I was walking alone. I felt so rejected and terrible.
She obviously didn't charge me and we fixed a new appointment for Monday.

I finally got out my apartment yesterday and got mugged at a busy street. Then this happens. Maybe I should just stay in.
I have been diagnosed as being bipolar and am very depressed right now. Have important exams in a few days and don't know what to do.

sometimes things just happen out of our therapists and our control. one time during one of my sessions I was running late and had only 10 minute session, another time at my therapists building the pipes froze and broke so everyone had to leave the building. when i asked my therapist at a later time why the moment we exited the building she treated me like she didnt even know me, she told me that treatment providers had confidentiality rules. part of that is when out of the therapy room they must make sure that my confidentiality is upheld even to the extent of anything that may reveal to others that they are my therapist and I am their client. made sense to me, I wouldnt want one of my co workers to be somewhere in the building and happen to see me talking with a therapist on the way out of a building. they may not understand and might spread around my workplace I see a therapist and which one and what we talk about..... After that it didnt bother me any more.

my suggestion is if this continues to bother you contact your therapist and let them know how you perceived what happened and ask them why it happened. they will be able to explain to you their side in this.

One time, I had an appointment with my therapist and as soon as I got there she cancelled it because she had to prepare for group.

That really irked me because it was the whole reason I Came in that day. And to just cancel it when I was at her door on time for my appointment, I think was just plain wrong.

It really upset me.
