I'm about to cry.

I'm soooo irritated right now.

My sister needs to see a shrink because of all of her issues with the death of her Fi etc. So I got her hooked up with the one I was going to try out. I called him this morning because we didn't know his address and I asked about an appointment for myself next week and he said he doesn't usually see two people from the same family. I'm like WTF......I told him I was going to use him for me but then my sister said she wanted to speak with someone so I worked on getting her an appt first. I'm so piiiissed right now. I almost cried right there on the phone with him. He's like let me see how it goes with your sister and I'm pretty piiiissed because I told him we have seperate issues unrelated to one another. ?

He offered to give me some referrals but I turned icy and said no thanks. FU. Thanks. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. This is like the topper to all the crap I've had to help with my sister with (not that I wouldn't do it but it sucks getting stuck in my own life because I've been helping her so much), not getting preg, having my cycle off, more tests for more problems. I'm just so upset and now I can't use the person I wanted to. I want to kick him in the knees for being so mean...how do you do that to someone coming to look for help. WTF.

Oh wow, D.  I know it probably doesn't help, but I'm so so sorry.  It's so nice of you to help your sister, but yeah - wtf re: the doctor.  Maybe b/c I'm not in that field I don't 100% understand, but it's completely different topics - he should be able to help.

And on top of everything else you've been having to deal with lately, this is not something you needed.  Ugh. 

Did you want to do lunch today?  Or next week or something?  Would that help get your mind off things?

I'm sorry. That isn't fair. I wonder why they won't treat 2 family members?  Do you have anyone you can ask for a recommendation? I hope you are able to find someone you can trust.

I'm really sorry you are going through this. Perhaps it's better to see someone else anyway since, if he is able to see you and your sister at the practice, you'd already be frustrated with him.  Clean slate somewhere else!

Good luck!

I think that it sucks that you can't seem him but I guess I can understand the policy. It would have been nice to know that this was an issue in the beginning.

I wonder if the policy is in place since it is therapy and you never know what is going to come out that he might find himself in a hard place. I mean he might inadvertently say something or ask a question based on previously known info from your sister's session.

Maybe you will find someone that is better suited for you. I would take his recommendation. Maybe you can explain to him the reasons you were drawn to him in the first place and he can offer a suggestion based on that. 

Good luck

I'm so sorry, that really stinks. It would have been nice to know this before you set your sister up with him. I agree with DLE and Mrs.Zoe about finding someone else.
