I'm going to my last two appointments but at the same time I'm somewhat irritable about it. I'm sad about the relationship ending...I don't feel like talking about it would help. I mean, I don't need to analyze why it sucks to be terminating the relationship. I like her, we've had a good connection, and I will miss no longer having that support. I don't really feel like "therapizing" about it will change that. And For what it's worth, I don't have an intense transference thing going, just regular connection

It's probably time to terminate, as she has gotten busier with her schedule I see more and more of the traditional "med first psychiatrist" in her. She used to be a therapist with the added bonus of managing my meds. Now she's a psychiatrist who's answer for most things is a med adjustment or change. I feel it's inappropriate as my "pathological" mental illness symptoms are mild and infrequent now, and I'm dealing with more emotional life stress and physical health stuff that I need basic support with. I hope once she leaves this office and is just at the new one, her schedule settles down so she can provide her patients there with the well rounded approach that drew me to her in the first place.

So yeah, our relationship has run its course I guess but it doesn't change the fact that I am disappointed and sad and ambivalent about the last two sessions. I'll go, but I don't know, it just feels like it would be patronizing to have her therapize the end of our time together *shrugs*

So that's where I am at. Thoughts?
