I know how you feel. I don't get over disappointments well either. Like just getting so upset about the women who walked the other way instead of walking me home. I sort of got over it, but I know it left a scar. It's hard to "go with the flow" of life. I was told often that my expectations are too high. I don't know if that's true. Maybe it's a BPD thing, not getting over disappointments. But that T should have called you again to see that you got the message, I think. Or called you again now to apologize. Maybe she will. I agree that she may not be the right T for you.

Yeah, my T disappointed me on the phone today. She didn't "get it" though she has other times about the same issue. Her phone kept breaking up too. She just thinks I have to do what I have to do, but she knows how my mind works. That's the hard thing about being out of therapy. I can't discuss all of this stuff with her again. I just have to get through it. I agree that PC and friends are often much better than therapy, and that is how it is meant to be. T's aren't supposed to be in place of real life. I'll get jumped on for that statement I know. But they are not are real life, as much as they may seem to be. They are important, but we pay them. It's a business arrangement. We post on PC and have friends because we want to--no money involved.
