>>SV, I don't know when you'll be finished with school, but if you feel your therapist won't end therapy with you in the best way for you, maybe you could talk about it with him/her now?
ShortE, you're so sweet to try to help me when you're going through what you are. :)
I was going to graduate this December, but I've decided to extend it until next May. However, it's still up in the air whether I'll be able to see my T past December (she hasnt given me a straight answer yet, and normally college policy is that they do short-term therapy, and I've already been with her for a year). I have tried to broach the subject with her, but she seems to get a litte uncomfortable when I try to tell her how upset I'll be about it. She also has an odd habit of sometimes turning my issues toward herself; for example, regarding this issue, she said that *she* doesnt want to sit there and think, after I've left her, that I've jumped off a bridge somewhere because I couldnt handle it, and that *she'll* miss me and hope that I'm okay and that she hasnt done me any harm, but *she* wont be sad because she knows she and I tried really hard. Well, that's great for her, but it'll already be easier for her to watch me walk out the door than it will be for me to go. She tends to get very anxious whenever she thinks that she or our relationship could possibly hurt me in some way, so I've decided to just let it be for now and suffer in silence when/if I need to. Besides, what could she do to make the time we have left any easier? Nothing, really, so why burden her with it.
Thanks for the thought. Good luck to you.
