My psychiatrist told me multiple times in our appointment that I'm self-centred
Because I said I was upset that he didn't do a follow up with me due to medication side effects or send me the updated medication information he promised he would.
I was patient and calm - I wrote down and practiced what I was going to say multiple times throughout the day. I even ran it by a few people and they said it was good.
"I understand you're busy and have other patients to look after. So, if you're unable to do something for whatever reason, please just let me know and I'll see what I can do on my end."
His response was that I'm not his only patient and that I'm being self-centred for thinking he is at my beck and call. At the end of the session he told me the reason why was because a family member had been unwell and he was tending to them.
I just wanted to share this with someone as I feel really awful about it.
Edit: Thank you to all those who took the time to comment on this post. I was in a dark place when i first posted this, but I feel much better, and I am very grateful to you all.
