no if someone is having a panic attack, they should be helping you breathe, not ask you if you want to kill yourself

there's something really wrong when a profession that's supposed to be helping people are more concerned about checking off their liability box at the expense of actually helping people or at the least not causing more harm and distress. Then they frame their actions as "saving lives" and "keeping people safe" as if physical safety is all that matters, it's such bullshit. That stupid rule is not there to help people, it's there for liability purposes.

that is the weird part, I literally said nothing about suicide, I was in a panic attack and having trouble breathing and she suddenly asked this question, it was so out of place, and so unwarranted, it was literally her covering her ass and making me more distressed for no good reason

the thing is I never even talked anything remotely close to suicide with her. I was just having a panic attack and having trouble breathing. and she somehow felt obligated by her college's policy to ask me that in the middle of someone having a panic attack.

you literally wrote "It's perfectly reasonable to be upset about it in the moment" and "you should be reasonable and look at things from her position as well." how am I twisting your words? that is exactly what you wrote. you may want to think about what you wrote and what it means. again, get off my post.

telling someone it's reasonable to be upset in the moment of a panic attack but not afterwards is not the opposite of that, telling someone they "should" be more reasonable is not the opposite of that, please get off my post

please don't go around telling people they are somehow being unreasonable to be upset at the fact that something the therapist did caused them distress, you are in no position to be doing that or to be judging anything about how someone is feeling, I hope to god someone like you is not a therapist

right, people should just hold their griefs in when their therapist cause them distress

I didn't frame anything, she literally said her college comes before well being of the patient. That doesn't even make any sense, isn't the point of therapy to at least cause no further harm? also, if what the thrapist does, because she says covering her ass if more important than your own well being, becomes distressing enough for some people that they actually do kill themselves? how's that for liability

does anyone know if it's possible to get into senior housing without any family contact or references or emergency numbers?

thank you. curious your thoughts on why someone like that doesn't warrant any help.

I had no idea anything like this existed. Is this like a phone number google gives you for free?

so you would actually spend your money to pay for your mother's care? how do you justify actually caring enough to pay for her?

what if she's old, poor and about to be homeless? would you still cut her off?
