The last few months it's been a merry-go-round from hell. Every week it's the same few things..."you have a fixed delusion", "maybe you should try exorcism"... It's a pisser when the one person your supposed to trust doesn't believe you. So I bit the bullet and left a v-mail saying I was taking a break for a while, I was very calm about it. He calls hubby and tells him I am in crisis. I'm not in crisis. Now hubby is watching me like a hawk.
I see my psychiatrist ever 6 mos, that should be enough for now, right? I mean, heck, I'm schizo,no amount of therapy is going to change that. I just can't start again....explaining my history and the different dx's and the meds and my family of origin...YUCK.
Did you address how you felt with your T - about your feeling that T doesn't believe you?

Leaving a voicemail to take a break can be taken all sorts of ways, so T may have decided to act on this out of concern, because he is unsure of your condition at that point in time. I have found that when things get too hard in therapy, I want to cancel or take a break....or when I'm soooooo down that I just don't have the energy or desire to share my misery with him. So, I can see how a T would do this out of concern.

I think it would be worthwhile for you to discuss your feelings with T.
