I knew you were facing another loss in the form of your therapist. And although I know he didn't meet your needs, I also remember how rotten I felt when I fired the pdoc from Hades.
But on the bright side, it should be diverting and distracting to line up new therapy prospects. I think Fallsfall had some excellent advice on how to find a new therapist. You can decide what qualities are important to you in a therapist, and make sure that the new one has them. Your last one should be a help as an example of what you don't want. And while I adore the feel of an old comfortable relationship, there is a certain freshness of possibilities in a new one.
Ugh. I sound revoltingly optimistic. The joys of cyclothymia.
I'm sorry about your medication disappointment. I remember the first few days of Effexor felt wonderful before it triggered a hypomania of the nasty sort.
As you know, I'm lousy at relationships. Your ex really doesn't sound as if he was at all good for you. But it hurts when you've not had a chance to emotionally separate before you physically do. Perhaps your new therapist can help you through the grieving process.
There definitely are many on Babble who care about you and about what happens to you.
Take care,
Dinah
