Is There a Professional Way to Pretend You Don't Know Your Psychiatrist at Work?

So there I was, in the middle of my workday, when I spotted my psychiatrist. At ✨work✨ Of all places. My coworkers have no idea I even see one, and suddenly I'm in a silent staring contest, debating whether I should wave like a friend, nod like a stranger, or crawl under the nearest desk.

And then, the cherry on top: “Are you still taking your meds?” Out loud. In public. In front of the vending machine. I swear, the Snickers bar in my hand was judging me too.

So is there a professional way to pretend you don't know your psychiatrist at work? Honestly, no. But there is a professional way to laugh it off later... preferably while hiding in the bathroom.

That was unprofessional of them to ask you that in public imo.. that’s your private business

@YoMomma Yeah, I totally agree... it caught me off guard. Definitely something that should've stayed private.

@mssweetdreams yeah that was just wrong on their part.. did they come there intentionally to give you grief or did they actually have a reason to be there .. you didn't tell them you wanted to murder your co workers or anything right? Otherwise they should have left you alone .. 😏

@YoMomma 😂 Haha no worries, I definitely didn’t say anything like that! Pretty sure they just happened to be there. Still, the timing couldn't have been more awkward.
