i can relate. i'm the same way. i used to have a therapist who would show up whenever she felt like it, or not at all, or forget me in the waiting room, just totally unreliable. it drove me crazy.
i can't tell you what to do about it, since i haven't figured that out myself yet. but i hope you hear from her soon and that she has a darn good excuse for standing you up.

Anyway, I've been trying to work on this and was doing OK, but then days like today happen and prove I was right to not trust anyone.
I'm supposed to be being discharged from.hospital soon into supported housing, there's a lot that need to be done first though, so my community psychiatric nurse was going to come to see me today, but surprise surprise she hasn't turned up, no phone call, no message, no nothing. So why exactly should I rely on her when I am discharged, I'm better off on my own.
Anyone else feel that the aftercare services or community support in mental health services is seriously lacking? (In the UK, or even in your own country if another).
Sorry, rant over....
