I know I have to talk to someone about how feel, if I wanted to talk to myselfI wouldn't have to find a ride to her office thirty miles from where I live.
Do you like her in any way? All you've posted about her is negative. What is keeping you with her instead of seeing another therapist?

If you do want to stay with her, you could ask her if she is bored or falling asleep when you talk, and see what she says. Maybe her answer will help you know whether to move on or stay.
