Although I've only been seeing my therapist for one college semester, I have grown very attached to her. I consider her my friend, especially since she is the only one I can really talk to at my university. I have shared everything with her and she's one of the most understanding, helping people I've ever encountered (I guess that's her job, but still). She just told me at our last meeting on Friday that this upcoming Friday she is moving to private practice (I currently go to her through my uni's counseling department) and I'd have to pay to see her if I wanted to keep going to her. My family isn't that well off financially, considering I have to pay for a private university, so no one really has money to give to a therapist at this point. My mother said for me to try working with a new therapist from school and if it doesn't work out, go to private practice with my old therapist...but this is all a big maybe.

I am terribly distraught though, especially since it's likely that I might have to switch to someone new and stay with them. I have a hard time trusting and opening up to people, especially since they end up leaving or betraying me somehow. This is exactly what happened, I opened up and she has to leave now.

I can't help but cry my eyes out and act like a child about this but it's so difficult.

Any advice for me? Anything? I really need something right about now.
