My case manager is leaving for another job . I will be on my third case manager (first one left for therapy, I still see him around once in a while since he stayed at the place I go for psych services), but first my former case manager (and I liked him too, we have the same music tastes, and got along), and now my current case manager, leaving me. I feel sad, frustrated, and anxious. I don't know who my new case manager will be, or if I'll get one last meeting with my case manager (probably not) to get closure, today was possibility our last meeting. I mean I had one problem with her, and we didn't connect as well as my first case manager and I did (he "got" me which I've never experienced a person "getting" me before). But still my current case manager and I, we did mesh well and I liked working with her, she was around my age (give or take a year or two, idk her real age). I feel like I have bad luck with case managers and losing them, and I feel like over the course of my treatment I'll keep losing case managers. Ugh, I feel so sad, this was just dumped on me today (she only found out about her new job last week, good thing we met today). I mean I'm happy for her, it will be in her degree field, she's a LPC, so she'll be doing therapy. But I do have a right to be sad and have these feelings.

Well I guess this is where my DBT skills of distress tolerance come into play especially radical acceptance, I have to accept that this is happening and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't feel like I'm being abandoned (well maybe a little) but I don't have a major fear of abandonment, it is what it is I guess. Now it is a waiting game of who my new case manager will be and if I'll like them and mesh with them too. Hoping for the best!
