I'm sorry, that's very frustrating. I have dealt with similar challenges with my psychiatrist, where her work availability was readjusted every 6 months or so....each time I contemplated drawing things to a close but chose to keep working with her. Unfortunately now that she's leaving the practice altogether the choice is no longer in my hands

the health problem possibility is a good point, mentioned earlier though. I'm dealing with a severe deviated nasal septum. it doesn't sound like a major health issue from the outside....but it caused severe sleepiness and went undiagnosed for a long time. the fact of the matter is I've had to take a lot of time off in the last couple of months. Now that I know it's a nasal septum issue and I am scheduled for surgery I've discussed it with a few of my regular patients. But I think before people wouldn't have been too understanding that I was taking off time due to "simple" sleepiness.

Not that such a thing is neccessarily the case for her, but just noting the health problem thing isn't always obvious to the onlooker. It doesn't make this situation any less sucky for you no matter what, so I am sorry :/
