Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions!

I have another session next week.
I don't think I'll have the opportunity to change (if I wanted to) because it takes so long to get placed with a therapist. She seems really nice and caring, so I don't know if I'll want to.

She had said that she was overcoming a cold when we first met, but I hadn't seen any signs of anything until I got into the sad part of my story when she kept trying to wipe away what I thought to be tears from the inside corner of her eye (I don't know what else would be there and would have to be continued to be wiped away).

It's probably her style to be super empathetic, but I'm sure I'll appreciate it in a couple sessions more than i did at that one.

For seeing someone for the first time and telling them things that probably no one else knows to the extent that i told her, I thought she was a good listener and I felt supported by the fact that she seemed to care, but my mind was just so thrown off by the thought that she was literally tearing up at the things that I told her. And then anxiety kicks in and I can't get it out of my head that my life is so f*ck*d up, and then i think about it more... (a lovely cycle).

Next time I go, I'll probably mention about how talking about everything and leaving made my mind race (and continue to race) about how f'd up i feel that my life is (but I won't mention the tears part).
