i still haven't quit, but i'm not happy either. i want to be able to call her when i'm freaking out. she is the type that definately does not want to be bothered outside of session. i can't get through several more days and i need to talk to her now! i miss my old therapist. i think she cared a whole lot more :(

{{{{{big hug}}}}} for you sweetie.
Have you ever discussed with your T how she can help you in-between sessions, if at all? Does she know you are having this hard a time between sessions? Could this be something you could discuss with her next time you see her?
I'm sorry I dont have any constructive advice right now.....I know how hard this can be. I hope you feel better soon.
SV

Thanks sv for replying, especially since you are going through the loss of your own therapist.
today in therapy was awful. as usual, i didn't really know what to say b/c i dont' trust her yet. she was obviously frustrated by my constant replies of "i dont' know" to any question she asked me. i guess it's my nervous answer. anyways, she got mad and told me to "cut the crap" in a really loud, mean voice.
about an hour or two after session, i left a voicemail saying that i quit therapy. so i guess its over. i don't know what i think, but maybe i've cut the crap?! grr :(

oh (((((((((((Lonelygal)))))))))))
I can imagine how much that hurts. Actually, I CAN imagine....my T said something VERY similar (even used the same word) a while back. I know they must get frustrated when we can't talk to them, but, I honestly believe (in my T's case at least) she thought I was doing it on purpose. I swear I wasn't.
I wish I knew what to say to make it better for you. I'm sorry you had to deal with this. :(
Email me if you need anything, k?

I don't know your situation very well, but I was shocked that a T would say that. It sounds extremely insensitive. Your last comment was funny but true (referring to cutting the crap).
I hope you are doing okay. How long were you in therapy with her? And you mentioned missing your previous T. What was the reason for leaving that?

aw, I would have loved to have gotten an email from you. :)
I'll put one of my addresses here (I use it for mainly junk stuff, so if someone wants to steal it and use it for spam, I dont really care), then once I hear from you I'll give you my main email address:
Hope to hear from you. Thanks again.
