today was supposed to be my first day of therapy and the therapist didn't show up. I'm pissed off. I wasted 2 hours for nothing.

I've sent her a polite message, asking if she's sick and hoping she is well, but in reality I wanted to yell at her. However, if I yell at her, chances are she won't treat me.

Before you suggest to find another therapist, finding a shrink where I live is very difficult and the other ones I contacted have either ignored me or are overbooked. I need therapy and it bothers me to be so dependent on one person.

For those of you who have experienced something similar, how doesn't it bother you?

I had a therapist not want to see me anymore. I was good with it because he always wanted to hug after sessions. Probably why he dropped me.

Per having a thick skin, the best I can say is become find a way to delight in nihlism. As George Carlin said, I root for the comet.
