Venting Dropped from Therapy

[Blowba]

I just recently been dropped from therapy and the program that I have been in which makes no sense to me at all. If I want to continue therapy I need to get a referral from my doctor for different clinic. But this was out of a sudden they sent me a letter saying that I ¨conquered¨my eating disorder in which I very much haven´t and that I met all of my therapy session goal which I actually only met one which is getting a job but that happened months ago. I recently got diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and struggle very much with my depression. My therapist asked me once that if we ever finish my ED session would I like to continue therapy. I told them yes because I recently been diagnosed with Bipolar and I have no clue how to deal with it and also my depression too.

But at the end I been dropped and now have to look somewhere else to get therapy and feel extremely shitty

Its the worst when even the mental heathcare people who are like… our last safe place and resort just evaporate. I'm really sorry. :(

I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't understand how some therapists can do that with no afterthought. It's happened to me once and I would never want someone else to go through it. I hope things can improve, though I understand how hopeless things can feel.

Just because you were diagnosed bipolar doesn't mean it's fact. Assholes will give false shit with no basis. If you are that sucks...if you aren't and they are just fucking you over....don't let them.

If you don't have highs and lows you're proabably not bipolar.

I hate that I can but I must second this. I had one psychiatrist (so, not a therapist but still a member of the psychiatric profession) clearly and obviously attempt to label me as paranoid/schizophrenic. I'd dealt with many therapists and doctors by this point and NONE had ever even mentioned that as a possibility but this woman psych and I didn't hit it off from the second I came into her office and she was asking such pointed questions that even I could tell what her aim was, and it was insulting actually that she assumed I was so ignorant. If I'd answered her any differently than I did, even a bit, I'm positive she'd have 'diagnosed' me with schizophrenia and I'd now have that on my chart. And just to note, I've seen other docs since then and sked about my possibly having schizophrenia they all said that no, I don't exhibit the symptoms.

Some of the professionals out that we're supposed to trust- you just CAN'T. So I agree with Alwaysbadtime, just because you received that diagnosis of bipolar doesn't necessarily mean it's accurate.

I wish you well and hope you find a GOOD therapist who will help you sort everything out so that you know what you are truly dealing with, whether it be bipolar or not.

I literally said: I need a job, have few clothes and don't want to be homeless...and was diagnosed bipolar and they lied and said I said I wanted to kill my dogs. Psychs are fucking evil...at least in this instance.

I see bipolar everywhere. Not everyone is such.

Sorry to hear @OpheliasFlowers got such a shitty go...to push schizophrenia on someone is truly fucking satanic reportable shit I wish.

I'm sorry you are going through this, I can imagine it must be a hopeless feeling. Unfortunately I think many people have been let down by therapists. I wish you well.
