Private to “Most of us don’t need a psychiatrist”

My favorite letters in the Dear Abbey Column are the ones she writes as a private response to an undisclosed writer.

I’ve decided that this is a perfect response to the “questionable” comments I get in my email.

This will be an ongoing project:

Private to “Most of us don’t need to see a psychiatrist—grow up!”

I’m glad that you don’t need a psychiatrist and that you think you’ve grown up.

You might want to see a behaviorist for your arrogance.

They are not really psychiatrists, so you won’t be breaking your rule.

  1. YES! So very true! Have learned this for myself as I dealt with my own “stuff” prior to getting out of the AF… the true sign of weakness is criticizing or condemning someone for having the strength to reach out!

  3. AMAZING!!! Yes.

    I usually mention that I am in therapy during face to face conversations. And when the person/ppl I am talking to look uncomfortable, I just give them a mocking look, to say “I know you’re a hater, but you’re a bit too embarrassed to say that rude shit to my fave, aren’t you? Let’s enjoy this awkward silence that YOU have caused.”
    Very satisfying as well.

      1. I have a short fuse sometimes with idiots and almost sent a msg back, then realized that was what he wanted, so he could send something else. Better to just erase it so no one else has to read it, too.
