No problem, i'm just saying what i'm thinking. You don't have to tell her every detail about it if you don't want too but you got to work on being at least a little more honest to her about your feelings. I understand it seems scary or nerve-wreaking, but it's something that eventually has to be done, right?

I get you, on the whole psychiatrist thing! I've dealt with a load of s**t ones. It's took me over 10 years to find someone who actually cares, listens and understands. To be honest, I don't think psychiatrists are the best people to talk too. They are usually too busy to care. I do think you should rely on your therapist about it though. That's what she is there for. To help you. All you got to do is talk to her and open up to her a little bit more. I'm not saying tell her every single thing, but at least tell her a little bit more. And yes, most defiantly tell her about how you are feeling after making it through the week.

Everyone is stronger then what they think they are, but we all got to rely on others sometimes a little too!

You are right I should tell her. She has no idea of these transference or attachment issues I have with her.
I'm not sure if I want to go to the extent of telling her about those feelings but I should at least tell her I was nervous about going back after making it through the week?

Another reason I don't want to go is I just saw my Psychiatrist last week and told him about my SI issues and he didn't take me seriously. Didn't change meds, add anything, etc... He just had a couple suggestions and said "I hope things start feeling better". I left feeling worse! So I kind of got mad at this whole therapy process altogether.
I haven't even been "boy [or girl] who cries wolf" about SI. When I mention it I'm serious and I want them to take me seriously. I don't want this to go further than it has to because I didn't receive the right kind of help in time.

I guess part of me wanted to take it out on my Therapist too... Which isn't fair to her.
