Let me just start off by saying thank you for people who commented on my previous posts. Your words are comforting and are helping me though this.

I guess this is a bit of a rant. But I am sick of whenever I talk to a family member they all feel like they have a need to give me "tough love". I don't need this cold condescension at this time. I need compassion and understanding and the understanding that some days will be better, some days will be worse. This tough love stuff I feel is not contusive.

To throw salt on the wound my therapist said we cannot work together anymore. I actually upped my sessions after the breakup. I feel like I need therapy to rebuild myself after all this mess. My self esteem is decimated. But they had to give me the boot. I left the state to get away from my SO. She is not licensed in my current state. She sent me references but so many therapists who seem really great do not take insurance. I know I'm losing my job soon, but I'd rather use my health insurance while I have it. The search continues.
