So this past summer I went to therapy for my depression, anxiety, ocd, and adhd. And it has been over 4 months since i've gotten discharged but recently i've been missing my old therapists a lot recently.

I felt a connection with them from the beginning. I really feel that they understood me. Just talking to them made me feel better and they would always say something that helped me out.

And the thing is that, we weren't allowed to get phone numbers or anything from any of the other people at therapy which meant that I would lose my friends too.

How is one supposed to deal with this?

It's rough but, you learn to go on. My first therapist was an angel. I told her on our last session that she had been like a sister to me. She liked that.
I miss her very much.
Thanks for this!

I adore my old therapist. He saved my life or shall I say gave me quality of life. I saw him for 2 years and then I had to move. We have a platonic relation ship and even met him for coffee on time. We talk often by email and text and when I am having a relapse he will call and chat with me to figure out what is triggering me.

I started with a new therapist but he is young and has tight boundaries.
