I said that I struggle with feeling like nobody around me actually likes me and she goes ”yes, I can understand that you would feel that way, u are very far back in life for your age”. She also shamed me for not wanting kids. She thought it was weird meeting women who don’t long to be a mother, and that was an indication for being ”odd” as a person

I told my therapist all how I felt since I didn’t feel brave enough to tell my parents since they’d push me away. I was showing clear symptoms of stress and depression. Yet she proceed to tell my parents everything and giving me barely any access to the internet, where my most trusted friends are. She made me get more worse, I don’t want to see her ever again. She never even really helped me either and didn’t understand me either

I have OCD and I get really bad intrusive thoughts, which give me bad anxiety. She then asked me to tell her the thoughts that I get. So I told her, and she just straight up started to laugh.😀
