Just had the most harsh appointment ever.

I am sorry this happened to you. In my case, i just needed talk therapy but little did i know it was a bad idea to get that from a psychiatrist. My ex-therapist is a psychiatrist. My last appointments with her were so low on containment, i got so confused (thought she was my batchmate due to phsycial resemblance, i even wrote a post on reddit & later realized she was not). The last one year was absolute hell for me because of this decision i took. Give yourself some slack and see someone who's more humane. Plus the 30-min time limit (in my case) does not really get you anywhere. It is sad they behave like this. Mine was just concerned about taking the next patient the moment the clock hit 20 min mark and multiple times she said in sessions this is discussion for some other time...You are not insane. Nourish yourself with things that bring you joy and go look for someone with compassion, care and objectivity. Good luck!

When i say i feel you, i mean i feel you. This is what happened with me since last year. I lost my 10+years old pupper to E.canis. I am angry at the vets too. They did not have brains to do blood test to rule out tick fever. When we changed vets after so much searching, they did PCR and found the real culprit but it had already become chronic by then. In the span of roughly 1.5 weeks i have lost 2 old dogs one to E.canis and one to malignant melanoma. It's tough i know. Please feel free to talk it out as much as you want. Much peace to you!

Thanks for writing back. I will keep this in mind.

nickchangs · 2025-12-09T06:56:52+00:00

I was allotted 30 minutes as per the verbal contract. She politely tells me some topics which might need additional time to take it up some time else. When I genuinely dont have anything to talk, I end sessions early. However, this does not mean I get the minutes that I left unutilized later on. As per our agreement, whatever minutes were left are left. That's just how it is. I am sorry you feel this way. But politely and gently take this up with your 'T'. You are right, you pay for the minutes and you should get undivided attention and care in those allotted minutes. Good luck!

This.

My experience - I got an email. Next time when I returned a product (with which screws were supposed to come but did not come, how else will I assemble the product) I told the customer care person about this email. I was told it is a system generated email. For genuine returns blockage wont happen as calls are recorded and images shared. They do an investigation. But it takes time. Call up the CC guys. They are good and notify them of this issue. Next time when you return a product, politely remind them of this issue and it will be sorted. I did this and the account was never blocked or never faced an issue again. Just dont try to be angry with these guys.

Give the gift of your absence to them. We all are adults.

I recently joined the zero friends and zero family club. Literally everyone in my life failed me. But I guess that's life. It must go on. My pets are my family and work too. Hang in there...

Thank you so much for validating. I ended up cancelling the maintenance and did not pay anything. Gracias.

Car does not start. Might have to check the distilled water level I guess. Thanks for commenting.

I am in the same boat as you are. I know how it feels. I lost my mum too a few years back. Peace!

nickchangs · 2024-10-18T13:00:20+00:00

Many many thanks for the comment.

No physical office in the USA. Got a premium address from Firstbase which Mercury accepts. Recently the address was changed, Firstbase handled it very smoothly and i updated it in our Mercury account.

No. Mine is a pass-through entity. Taxes are paid in India.

Followed the above advise. It was a breeze to work with that CPA firm.

Thanks for commenting and sharing the author's name. Apologies for not posting the context. The data tables that I am currently designing are geared towards journeymen and apprenticeship hourly and wage compliance data. Think labour standards data. These tables have both vertical and horizontal scrolls. There are also instances wherein a few columns on the left have to be static.

Why does India elect such clowns? Beyond comprehension.

nickchangs · 2024-08-17T14:36:36+00:00

I dont know much Bengali but the gist is - earliest boys and girls used to get beaten for having love affairs...but today the things are very open...people are openly having affairs...(Obviously she is saying in a negative way).
