KD, I thought of you immediately, and then my first grumpy thought after that was, "at least she's got MONTHS to deal with it. I only got six weeks!"

Apologies for the mental pity party . It is damn hard, no matter how long you have to adjust.

I wonder if I will ever stop crying.

The options he tossed out to me were: find another student at the clinic -- he said he had a couple in mind with whom he would feel comfortable leaving me -- find another therapist out in the community at large, or just bag therapy. I know it is probably a knee-jerk reaction to the news of losing him, but my first inclination is just to bag therapy.

I'm going to call my pdoc Monday and ask for a few minutes to discuss this with him. I need somebody neutral to tell me if this is an OK time for me to quit therapy. Personally, Gregory is the first T I ever told in detail about the abuse. We've covered it pretty much to my satisfaction at this point. Someday I might want to dig in deeper, but for now I'm OK with where I'm at with it.

It helps to have somebody to lean on while I have all these health issues, but I can find other outlets for that.

I dunno. My whole face hurts from crying so much, and I'm not thinking straight right now. I'm soliciting opinions, though. What experiences has anyone had with switching T's or just deciding to quit therapy for awhile?
