Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say. I want to be clear, though, that simply because I believe I could have done something differently to stop what happened to me doesn’t mean I believe in ANY way that I deserved what happened or that I was responsible for it. I was very young, it was one of the first times I’d…

ADVICE SOUGHT:

Well...what you have done already sounds good to me. Way to go!

Oh fuck, I totally forgot about that. Yeah, that’s some crazy shit.

It’s a good idea to call your old therapist for name recommendations, hopefully you will find another good one soon. My last great therapist also moved away (to Denver) to start her own practice closer to her family, but that’s pretty cool she opened a much-needed clinic like that. Congrats on getting your PhD by the…

Sometimes people are complete Jackwagons. THIS is one of soooo many reasons why we need comprehensive sex ed in public schools. Young women need to know their rights and the biology behind procreation and their body. It is complete crap that doctors are pulling their personal politics into our healthcare decisions. It…

It sounds to me as though you’ve got a good plan ahead of you although it still won’t hurt to check into the state medical board. You should be very proud of yourself for taking these steps to report this unprofessional behavior many people do not, they just move on to another doctor and write the first one off. I…

I’m glad you’re trying to sort it before it sinks further. I have a fibromyalgia so although I’m not pregnant I do know the depression that comes along with long-term physical pain. I really hope you can get it before it gets worse. Good luck and do NOT let someone speak to you like that again!! Hugs, my friend.…

I’m glad you’re filing complaints. I hope you find a new doctor who is actually helpful.

*cracks neck in rage* That is so horrific. Absolutely revolting, I’m sorry you had to deal with that. Just... ugh. I cannot.. I cannot. I really hope you can get your depression sorted out soon, I hope you’re okay. Here is a picture of a sloth holding a teddy because the world is just terrible and this is just insane.

YES. I can’t eat meat cause . . It’s horrible. It has veins, and skin, and you have to cook the deadly illnesses out of it. And I don’t do potlucks. Food sitting out + other people touching it = hell nah. So it’s horrible when people go out of their way to bring me a meat free dish, but it’s been sitting there. And I…

Good, this is all a great plan—and thank goodness your husband is there for you too. I’m sure the referrer feels awful. I’d want to strangle that woman if I’d sent someone to her. I think it’s great to talk through your next steps with your doctor, someone you trust and just go safely and gingerly at this point. Maybe…

Could you possibly (if you feel like it and you think it might make you feel better) report her to your state’s medical board?

“My now-husband (also drunk but less drunk) attempted to hurry us along. We all got home just fine. No one got raped. No one had sex. Being drunk doesn’t make rape happen. Being sober won’t stop rape.”

I’m so, so sorry. That doctor is awful and irresponsible and holy fucking shit she needs to find another profession where she never speaks to anyone again. Seriously. Fuck her. I’m sorry.

I’m so sorry this happened to you! That’s terrible from anyone but more unexpected from a female in my opinion. I had something similar happen to me with a male shrink. He was so callous and insisted I was mostly to blame for my rapes. He also told me the side effects from a medication (throwing up, fever, sore…

Honey, I am so, so sorry. You are right: NEVER see her again. If you have the strength or wherewithal, please report her to the American Psychiatry Association, or whatever hospital/doctor’s group she is affiliated with or even the state medical board. What she did is malpractice and abusive. She encouraged a PTSD…

#ocd4life I have the same problem with people just substituting something because “they were out of what you wanted”. And then i feel bad when they feel bad for giving me a panic attack. I can’t help it. 😭

I’m sorry that happened to you, I have had mental health issues in the past and I know how uncomfortable it can be to reach out to a stranger for help. I wish you peace and good mental health.

I was once told that an IUD (I wanted one) was like having an abortion every month by a “super helpful” female doctor in a major US metro at a non-Catholic hospital. I was so shocked by the experience that I sort of sleepwalked out of the place. Then the rage set in and I was screaming at poor Mr. Smuttins on the…
