this is long. i am RANTING.

my counselor is getting the AX.
i have been to her.. around 5 times so far.
i was telling her today bout the incessant nausea for 24 hrs and inability to calm down a week or so ago, and she immediatelygot out some idiot book and said "well see, panic attacks usually just feel like a heartattack, with heart palpitations'"..and i almost scoffed at her..wanting to say "are you serious? you have obviously NEVER had a panic attack before.. there is so much more to them than that"...



she then went on to say "you probably had a 24 hr bug.. there are so many different kinds going around.. i felt sick to the stomach the other day, i didnt v* or anything...and just earlier today one of my clients said she felt really unwell"...

(i should add that i saw a doctor during that time of nausea, and he didnt think it was a bug as he said there would've usually been more symptoms than just nausea.hegave me prilosec.which i never took)

and here i was.. sitting in the same chair as one of her nasty sick clients??
she said it so candidly..

i printed off the emet info for herweeks ago.. she said she would read.. and it was NEVER again brought back up.

i came to her because of the emetophobia... and she tells me i had a bug and that they're going around.. and basically.. "tough luck"...?

immediately i went into a hizzy ...my face is STILL feeling hot.

some people should not be in the profession they are in.
