I used to see a therapist. Her name was sally. I loved her so much and she understood me completly. I decided to give therapy a break because there was really nothing to talk about or we we would just talk about things that were irrelevant. I was depressed but tired of therapy bc I was getting nothing out of it. It is hard to talk about why u feel feel depressed when u don't even know why. Months later i started feeling more depreased. I was feeling more suicidal than usual. I decided to go see sally again. I could nt wait to see her so that I could just cry my eyes out to her. I missed her and I needed to talk to her because she really knew what I was going through. But now she is gone forever. She got a job promotion and is no longer a therapist. She is no longer my therapist. I found this out when I went to set up an appointment. The lady at the front desk told my mom to tell me that she no longer works there any more. So i was given a list a therapist that were available.....do I have to say anymore.

Hello Cecilia12: I'm sorry your lost your great therapist. None of the T's I ever saw were worth the bother. So I can appreciate how precious a really good one must be & how difficult it must feel to think about starting over. I wish you well...

I'm sorry to hear that. it sucks, I know. I was with a psychiatrist for six years! even after I had to move several hours away, I still made trips to see her. then she closed her private practice to go work at a VA place. like you, I was heart-broken (not really the right word but you get what I mean).

I've tried psychologists, therapist, social workers, whatever you want to call them - none have worked. so I'm just on my own, for now. that doc was maybe the best 'treatment' I ever had for my MI. and since her practice closed, the 'will to keep fighting' just isn't there anymore for me. (almost like she was helping me in more ways then I could understand at the time)

and I'm a strong introvert, with trust issues, so it took a lot of time and patience for her to get me to open up. in fact, she would have her assistants allow for extra time for my appts, mostly cuz of the traveling I did just to get to the appt. but at our last appt together, we talked for like two and a half hours. (and you wouldn't believe the story behind how I ended up finding her)

anywho... my point being, keep trying or fighting while you still can. maybe ask around to see if there is another person similar to the one you had, you know like personality-wise. (or whatever characteristics you liked about that therapist)

and most importantly, hang in there!
