Jexa,

I'm sorry you're going through so much right now, on top of your t leaving! It must feel pretty overwhelming. Considering that you have so many stressful things going on, it would seem reasonable to me that you might want to make sure you have found a t you can work with by the time your t leaves. That way, you won't have a period of time without support. Have you emailed any other t's besides that one? Maybe your t will have a good referral list for you.

About the unexpected crying for no reason. . .it's probably the stress of everything hitting you at once. I'm sure you have alot of feelings about what's going on in your life, with your friend, your sister, etc., and about terminating with your t.

However, if you you suspect that you are putting so much energy into your t search that you feel you are avoiding your feelings about termination, let your t know. You may be trying to avoid the pain of saying goodbye. But it's important that you allow yourself to feel (and share with your t) your true emotions about what's happening for you in your relationship with her. Share how you feel about her and about terminating, and allow her to help guide you through this difficult time.
