I know you resist seeking additional support. But you don't have to go through this by yourself. Be kind to you and what you are going through.
When I quit therapy 20ish years ago, even though I walked away, it felt like my therapist was ripped out of my heart. After enduring that pain for a few months (walking around with a hole in my heart) I did find another therapist.
In retrospect, she wasn't a great therapist, but she was perfect for that period in my life. It wasn't deep work but it was supportive, kind and loving, and exactly what I needed. And I saw her for less than a year.
It's okay to need help with the loss of a therapist. T #2 knew why I was there. And she completely understood that level of pain and loss.
I'm sorry your co-workers were mean to you. F*ck them. That's them piling their garbage onto you. Turn off the volume in your head - I know that's hard but you don't have to listen to a bad sound track. Thank goodness your boss supported you.
"I think no matter how hard I try, I just can't quite pull off this whole life thing."
That's why it's okay to surround yourself with additional support and professional help.
