I don't want to go to my next appointment. I want to skip it. But in reality, I wouldn't skip it. The anxiety from missing the obligation would be unbearable. I could cancel though. But I don't know if I have enough of the medication. I want to stop taking the medication just so I don't have to see her anymore. I'm afraid I'm going to get angry during the appointment. I don't know what to do.

To me, this sounds a lot like the way I was feeling with my previous therapist. She was competent, experienced, and nice, but there was no connection and I never trusted her fully (not in the sense that I thought she would not do her job, but in the sense that I could not tell her things.) Some of that was my own stuff, some of it was her inability to understand me, but regardless of the reason there was simply no connection. With my current T, things were different from the firat time I saw him.
My point here is that sometimes it simply doesn't work with a particular provider. It is a personal chemistry thing which does not mean that either party is in the wrong. And in those cases, the best thing to do is to change pdocs, if possible.
