Hi there

 

You certainly are dealing with a lot.  I am so sorry you lost your therapist.  That must have been very emotionally painful. 

 

In seeking therapy...this is a good step you are taking.  What does your therapist say about all this?  How about your regular medical doctor?

 

Is there any information that you need from us here?  I am unsure of what you may be asking.

 

Please do keep writing here if that helps.  There are many people here dealing with both physical problems as well as a mood disorder.  Nobody can know exactly what you are dealing with but we can share the journey.

 

Hang in there.
