My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

I dont have specific advice but was in and out of twelve steps, have a p doc and was doing well. If you want someone to talk to I’m open.

I saw my therapist for almost 10 years and he truly changed my life. It was one of the most deep and sacred relationships I’ve ever had. When I started feeling like I might be ready to stop going, we talked about it in depth and we actually spent several months specifically to help me transition out. When I had my last session, it was a really hard goodbye but I also felt ready. So I’m thinking maybe things ended too abruptly and you don’t have closure? A lot of therapists do virtual sessions now, maybe it would help you to have some sort of follow up with her now and you can talk about these feelings.

This week, I received a letter in the mail from a Catholic church in SC. So apparently my ex is trying to get our marriage annulled. We have been divorced for 20 years now.

The letter said they could issue a subpoena to make me comply. Not sure why she is doing this? She remarried and had a child. So not sure what she has to gain by this? Cont.

Not the results I was hoping for this morning. Went for my first appointment before starting injections this evening. Only 9 follicles. Was told birth control can suppress some so they may just not be visible yet but feeling very panicked now despite the doctor saying it was ok for my age.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?
