Unplanned absences from therapy can be difficult and if you didn't cope well last time you might not this time either.

I’m extremely fortunate that my T just bills me for sessions and lets me pay when I have the money which is usually once or twice a month.
Since I’ve been there every week since the end of March, I have more to pay now and also at a time when I have no one to take me so I’ve been renting a car one day a week. The cost of renting a car turned out to be the same cost as paying the person who was taking me so I’ve been getting the rental car because that also gives me a vehicle to run all of my other errands.
I’ve stopped with the person who was driving me because when I stopped for lunch on the way home, I asked him if he wanted anything and he did but my debit card got declined and I used one of the $20 bills to pay for food and he got angry at me.
Then my friend kept telling me she would take me but on the morning of the appointment, she wouldn’t ever answer the phone so I rented a car.
I think my T will understand about this situation.
My car just recently went into the shop so hopefully, I will get it back soon.
Being without a car has been so frustrating and I was getting frustrated about it and canceling half of my appointments and he told me not to cancel multiple appointments at the same time.
I learned my lesson after the last time I did that and ended up in a bad place and he opened a spot for me that day. But he usually can’t get me back in after I cancel an appointment.
