My friend visited a therapist
because she had
the overwhelming urge to kill herself
every day for six months
she walked in willing
to talk
finally...
the shrink said
“you’re cured”
he presented his bill
and my friend killed herself.

Maybe that is an indication for the hypocritical oath. All health care workers know that job security lies in maintaining illness. A fun read.
How much do I owe you? lol 🤣 🤣 💜
After that story I wouldn't dare charge a cent.
I'm flattered but I am much more of a pain in the arse in life, windows are safe charge away 🤣🤣🤣🌹 I cannot resist bugging you for the rest of our lives and then in limbo lol 😂
Limbo is a tall order for me.
Yeh, and for me! 😉
A well crafted image of the advantage taken over someone else’s misery… a billion dollar industry nonetheless built on lived and ongoing misery
Indeed dear Arqios thank you. 🌹
You’re welcome Teddy 🙏🏻 Have a great weekend 🕊
You have a great sense of humor, dear Teddy. lol.
Do you think I need a shrink? 🤣 Thank you Thomas my dear friend. 🌹
I think they're called " shrinks " because of how a paycheck shrinks when you use their services. Your poem captures the futility of trying to mend a damaged mind. " He presented his bill "( est. 130 days X $100.00 = $ 13,000 ). No wonder! You drive home a very good point, i.e. the cost of medical and psych services. How could he drag it on for that amount of time and accomplish nothing? A very poignant poem on a subject very relevant to today. - Phil A.
Thank you so much dear Phil, yes indeed simply making fun of the crazy way in which this world works. Biggest of hugs dear friend. 🌹we call them shrinks in London slang but I actually think you may be onto something. In 2021 I worked for a lovely woman who was training to be one here in Florence, she inspired this. 🌹
My checking account is depleted, I must be getting better. Right? 🙄
Only you could know 🤣 but I hope yes 💜
You get the same idea with solicitors bills Teddy. LOL
Andy
Yes and lawyers and all the others we may actually need. And don't get me started on the wash and dry shops that cost euros 50 go wash and dry 4 kilos of clothes 🤣 🌹luckily I don't use them myself and I certainly could never afford a shrink. 🌹
That is what you call sod’s law from where I came from Teddy. So much here to pick apart. There are many people making a huge load of dosh at the expense of the misery of others. Solicitors are currently my number one yuk but there are so many others like the pharmaceutical industry. This is both a clever and amusing write. Happy Sunday. Time to stop visiting shrinks 😂🌹💜
lol 🤣 thank you dear Cassie, yes, nothing in life is free ❣️
