T and I had a session this week, now I have three week break before our next one. After that it will a five week break due to T going on leave.

Things have been pretty crap for me recently. Our session this week wasn't great, I left really upset. I spoke to T yesterday and said I was worried about the break.

She started talking about whether I needed another session booked. I said I didn't want to because I've got to get used to not seeing her, as it happens a lot. Anyway, she went on about giving myself what I need rather than depriving myself.

So I took a chance and asked about adding another session. She's fully booked. Why would she push me to ask for something she can't provide. Especially knowing that I've been feeling hopeless, lonely and worthless.

Life seems hopeless at this stage.

That's rough...Could you ask her to call you if she has any cancellations? I've had my T do that before (and managed to get in a couple times).

I think the wrong type of therapy can have this effect.
Therapy needs to be something that can be relied on to 'be there' and to know when it will be there.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. I hope things get better soon.
