I feel the same, rainbow! I have never wanted to skip a session either, and find it really difficult when either one of us has to cancel. If I'm sick we usually just switch to skype.

I would also tell my therapist if I wanted to cancel- I generally think it's good to tell him about unsettling thoughts.

I'm sorry you are feeling crappy. Does it ever help to cancel? I could imagine that sleep might be sometimes helpful as well, though it would be my inclination to go.
Thanks for this!
