I’m sorry you’re so sad. It’s not easy to face termination. And being better doesn’t make it a breeze. Sure you’re not ready just now, but perhaps in a few months, after you’ve had a chance to get used to the idea, you might feel ready. And it doesn’t sound as if he’s going to kick you out the door, so you have time to adjust to the idea of life without therapy.
> I am sorry everyone that I haven't been supporting the recent posts, I just don't have the energy. I feel like just going in to my dark hole forever and staying there where noone can hurt me anymore.
(((((Happyflower))))) You don’t have to apologise. I’m glad you’re here. Just be who you are right now. That’s just fine.
> Why do people who mean so much to me leave me? I just don't want to try anymore, relationships always end up hurting me. How can I ever trust again? I am so sad right now.
Termination is undeniably painful. I don’t want to minimise it. But although it’s hard, it’s not impossible. You will get through it.
> My T is on vacation and isn't available by phone at all. I want to tell him how I feel, but I don't think he wants to hear it from me. Sorry for my depressing post.
No apologies are necessary. Hey, if depressing posts were banned it would be a pretty crappy mental health support community, eh?
I think it probably would be helpful to tell him how you feel when he gets back from his vacation. After all, he doesn’t actually want to abandon you. On the contrary, his purpose is to help you to feel well enough to live a contented life. He isn’t rejecting you. He’s helping you to determine a point at which you’ll be comfortable standing on your own two feet. His actions are motivated by his care for you, unlike other abandonments you might have experienced.
I don’t know if that’s any help at all. I know the prospect of the end is awful. I’ll be thinking of you.
