I can't remember anyone abandoning me before, this just feels like she doesn't even care that I'm going through a lot emotionally right now and need support. She doesn't do any outside contact like email, but occasionally she'll let me call her at her office, but she's going to be gone, so that's not going to be possible.

If it helps, you can private message me for someone to talk to. Im not a therapist but I am a social worker so I can listen for you. The important thing to tell yourself is that your T is coming back and that you can make it through this time. You have lots of support here at PC.
No she didn't even suggest anyone else that I could see while she's away, I felt like she didn't even care. At the end of the session she said that time was up and she needed to let me go, and then it was like "by the way I'm going to be gone for the next 3 weeks". I know she could tell how upset I was but I doubt she really cared.

T and I had an ONGOING rupture once over his many many many vacations one summer. It's just hard.

No no, don't worry, what you wrote was fine. I'm just in a bad state of mind right now and I know I'm not thinking clearly and it's hard to not see things as black/white. If she's gone, then I feel like she doesn't care anymore and is abandoning me.

I'll try to post more here to get support, but right now I'm in a really bad place and I'm just trying to keep myself safe.
