Belongs to: Therapist reacts to Sick Boi Ren
My “doctor” said two/yrs ago said I’m fine when I admited alcoholism … Kinda laughed at me actuallualy … “They seem to laugh at me” but its eating my liver and pancreas …
And I’m not well.
Wow for a medical professional to laugh at such a serious thing is kind of disturbing! Your doctor should be addressing these serious conditions instead of laughing them off! I am so sorry you were shrugged off like that as issues with the pancreas and liver are very serious!
I hope you findna doctor who hears you and can address what is happening medically. I hope also, that the stressors and pain in your life thag have brought you to alcohol can be healed in your life. Thank you for sharing with us! We are here for you!
Gosh, I’m so sorry that they reacted that way. Getting to the point of asking for help and doing the hard work in therapy takes already so much of your energy, motivation, attention… so to have something so important being received in such a dismissive way is heartbreaking. I’m angry for you and because of their reaction. The last thing we would expect from a professional is to behave in a way that doesn’t convey basic compassion and understanding.
If anything, you haven’t done anything wrong there, and I hope you can keep embracing this truth. What you did - opening up - was very brave of you and something to be proud of. It’s unfortunate that you were not met with the support you needed at that time, and I hope that since then you have not let this experience prevent you from trying with someone else, or from seeking support overall. Their reaction is a reflection of their own limitations, and certainly not of your needs or how much you do deserve to be supported in this journey of yours. Alcoholism is definitely not something to laugh at, and we here are SO proud of you for recognizing this struggle in your life and the need to be supported as you face it.
Man, we’re rooting for you here. You matter so much, friend. You absolutely do.
