My therapist had said that I show signs of depression, I'm afraid she might have been right. She left my school, so I can't see her anymore. I'm afraid to see another therapist and I'm afraid of not being able to see her anymore. She is the only person that I had to talk to but she's gone now and I can't talk to anyone else, not even my family. I feel like I'm all alone now and it's my own fault for not being able to trust people. That is a really difficult thing for me to do. I'm afraid of what will happen to me now that I have no one to talk to again. I wish she could have stayed. Sometimes, I get really sad and cry. I don't want to go back to the way I was. I'm really scared that it's going to happen. I want to stop cutting myself, but I still have thoughts about it. She said that I could contact her and I want to, but I don't want it to seem like I'm being needy. I don't know what I should say or even what she would be able to do for me since she isn't my therapist anymore. I just feel so frustrated and sad for being alone and not having a person to talk to. I just think that I really need someone to talk to right now. I'm scared to be by myself again, but I'm too scared to try a different therapist. So, I guess it's my fault, right? I really don't know what to do next.

You could try to see another even though you feel afraid.

Try to find the courage to make some phone calls and get in with a new therapist. Having been with several really good therapists over the years, I understand that belief that I'll never find another person I could talk to like the first one, but I always have. The hardest part is picking up the phone.

Blackfeather,

I suggest you take her up on her offer. Contact her. She would not have offered contact if she didn't want to. Tell her the same thing you said in your post here. That will give her an idea of how you are feeling and what you need. She will be able to tell you what, if anything, she can do you help you out. If she can't see you anymore as a therapist, she could likely refer you to a therapist she knows.

Exactly what I was going to say.

She told you to contact her if you needed to. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to. You won't be needy contacting her. You need to talk to someone and that's very, very different than being needy.
