In reply to How would you react to termination **trigger**, posted by pinkeye on June 28, 2005, at 14:50:35
This *did* happen to me, on Valentine's day no less, with my second T.
I was angry at her for abandoning me.
I was angry at the VP for making her leave.
I was angry at myself for getting attached.
I was angry at my friends and peers because had I told them, they wouldn't have understood.
I was angry at my old T for suggesting I go back to therapy.
I was angry at God, who could have prevented it from happening.
I was angry that things can just fly to pieces like that.
I am not angry any more. But I went from devastation, to sadness, to anger to depression, several times over.
I feel suspicious of therapy now. I am afraid to start again.
I go on with life knowing that at any moment, it could all come apart. But somehow that makes it so much more important that I pick up the pieces and keep going.
I think that whatever you are feeling, abrupt termination or no, that it's normal.
