Thanks. I guess it's something of a miracle considering how devastated I felt during and immediately after the session - I had finally angered him too much, he couldn't be trusted, now I had to deal with everyting all alone, etc.
I turn 18 in the middle of next September, and the problem with that is simply because he's a child/adolescent psychiatrist, and given the way the local health system works, the clinic can't treat anyone 18 or over. I started college (not quite like the usual system, though) this year, and will be at the same place next year, so that's not much of a worry until two years from now. In fact, I'm grateful, because at least that way -something- in my life will remain stable. I will definitely be looking for longer-term therapy once I figure out where I'm going for college after what I'm doing now. Of course, I don't know if that will be possible since I don't expect to be able to afford it for several years, unless I take out a loan (may have to anyway) and live as cheaply as I can, otherwise. (Seeing my pdoc is free, under the system, which is why that's not currently a problem. My parents have no problem with paying loads of money on stuff for, say, mild acne, but they would refuse in the case of therapy.)
Whew, so much posting. Just wanted to say thanks to all - I really appreciate all the different perspectives and support and it's been very helpful. Now off to church I go, where service started... two minutes ago! Yikes!
