Sorry you're having a rough go of it.
Not sure if I have any wisdom to share-- but I can share one of my stories....
The very first therapist I ever went to was so kind and helped me to talk about some things I'd never ever talked about..... I'd started to feel that maybe there is one person on this planet that is not against me.... then.... she told me that she is moving 2000 miles away. I went numb.... she gave me a referral and we said goodbye. I never saw her again and the new T. was so not a good fit for me-- I went back into my shell for a while.
anyway-- what I'm getting at is to keep in mind that your T. will see you again and you will see her. It's time away-- yes,(which can be difficult) but she will be back. Do you have an appointment set for when she returns to work? perhaps you could count off the days and see that it's getting closer and closer to your appointment?
maybe, think of the good things-- like your T. is healthy, she's not retiring nor moving far away.
maybe keeping busy will also help the time to pass faster-- doing things with friends/relatives,
craft projects, maybe doing something around the house you've been meaning to get done, how about learning something new.... I recently bought some beads(I love jewelry) and I have started making my own bracelets.... soon I'm going to try moving up to making a necklace.anyway-- i do hope you "think/feel" better soon.
we're here to help you through.
thinking of you,
