She's a wonderful woman with some serious lung problems, and is 69 years old.
I'm tempted to just say fu*k all, cancel all my pre-scheduled appointments and say, See ya in October. I am so fried from the "She'll be back in a few days" every 4th day.
They said I could see another therapist for now, but I'm very close to her and don't plan on seeing anyone else for the foreseeable future, if ever.
I won't be able to drive for at least 2 more months (surgery), damned virus is everywhere...ugh, I'm just so fed up.

Sorry to hear that, Beth. It's frustrating when you set up appointments and then the doctor/therapist/whomever cancels on you. I can't say I've had that many cancellations in a row, but it does suck.
This is just my opinion, but if you're ever in a crisis and it gets to the point you may need IP, I think it's worth trying another therapist at least temporarily, if that's what helps you avoid IP. If you don't like him/her, you can always decide you don't want to see him/her again. In my case, having someone just
listen to me and let me get my feelings off my chest really makes me feel better. But obviously everyone is different and you shouldn't ever feel pressured to see another therapist. Just thought I'd mention that.
