It was less than two months ago that I had to start going to a new therapist. I was so sad my therapist of 4.5 years had to close her practice. But that first session with the new therapist was wonderful! I took an instant liking to her. I started seeing her every Wednesday, while I only saw my previous therapist every other week, and therapists way in the past as little as every three weeks, in some cases, even though I was even sicker back then.

With every session, my current therapist impressed me more and more. I told my psychiatrist that she and I connected better than I had with any other therapist EVER. I really looked forward to seeing her. Well...

Today at the end of the session my current great therapist said she had a very sad thing to tell me, and she was a bit upset about it. She said that the owner of the therapy group had decided to abolish the "group" and just go it alone. In this case, my current therapist said she would no longer be practicing (at least not in my area and not in the immediate future) after the end of next month. She's 70 years old, about 25 years older than me, and lives rather far away. She is also a part-time professor at a university near her, and will likely just continue that work.

I have to say I am very saddened and frustrated. I know that it's not her fault, but I just can't believe that my extreme luck has ended this soon. I have to start looking for a new therapist AGAIN, and I just can't imagine a new one being even 25% as great as my current one, or 50% as good as the one I had just before.

After my session, I went downtown to pick up a med at the pharmacy. I decided to feed the meter extra quarters so I could take a walk. Even though I'm just recently starting a diet, I thought I needed a little comfort, so I walked 15 mins to the Cupcake House and bought myself a little vanilla cupcake. It tasted really good. I walked back to my car, drove home and called my hubby. The cupcake was soooo worth it, but that will not ruin my diet. Actually, I had enough calories left for it. It's going to be OK.
