Not Happy

[storky]

well i had been going to this psychologist for 5 weeks and then yesterday he says he believes im ok now that i have a job and we can stop the scheduled meetings and i can call him any time i need help. meanwhile im so confused and dont understand why he did this, im thinking that its my fault, that maybe im not helpable. you see i started going to him when i discovered i had a problem and really needed help, it was a difficult realisation and even more difficult for me to seek help as i am the kind that sufers alone and is too "proud" to ask for help. now he has abandoned me too.

im not entirely alone as im engaged to a most amazing supportive woman and we have a great relationship, she just cant help me and give me what i need. and as it was so difficult for me to find help in the beginning i would probably not make another appointment now that its not scheduled.

i looked forward to these appointments and now i have nothing to look forward to anymore and days are just taking too long to get by, you see i try to find someting to look forward to in order to keep me going and if i dont have that life seems almost unbearable, it cant be simple ordinary things its got to be something out of the ordinary that i know is going to happen so just looking forward to waking up is not enough, as even that is depressing, there is no point in waking up if there is nothing to look forward to.

Mabey you should consider setting up a meeting with the psychologist to ask why he thought your were 'ok' now?

If you felt able it may be helpful to let him know how you feel about the sessions ending, what you gained from the sessions and why it would be useful for them to continue.

5 weeks is not a particularly usual length of time to work on psychological issues (unless the like here in the U.K, on the NHS the number of sessions can be between 4 -8 sessions before your doc has to re-refer you).
