I just realized how unique therapy is, what it's still doing for me even though it's over ... I'm going to miss it so much. Oh.

I'm still getting insights *and* I'm interpreting things in a different way than I used to. I took on a new life filter.
At one time my therapist's voice would talk to me in times of stress - I wouldn't have to work at conjuring him, he'd just be there. It was incredible. My mind would just conjure him when I needed him most.. and his voice would be saying things in his calm, steady manner, things I really needed to hear. I miss him so much; I haven't seen him in ages and I can't conjure him anymore. I suppose that's good though. I just have to find a voice to replace his. My own voice. I have to find my voice. Thanks for reading.

I don't think it's ever bad to have another's voice in mind, especially a positive one. Maybe you miss him so much now because you're otherwise feeling so awful.
I carry on conversations with my T all the time, only they're one way conversations - I never hear her voice. I think I'm just trying to explain things to her in a way that's acceptable to me and understandable by her. I frequently have to do this before I can raise issues in therapy.
It's horrible to feel so isolated - for me it's when I spend too much time just living inside my head. However difficult, I think you need to find ways to lose that sense of isolation. I'm sorry that you don't feel you can afford therapy, but there may be resources you're not familiar with - maybe even a group you could join. And of course, you can always submit youself to the innumberable fine amateur clinicians on this Board, who obviously care greatly for you. (-;

Omigod I'm gonna cry again! THank you you lovely person.
I miss my ex-therapist because he was a nice person who I really liked very much, as long as he sat straight as a pole in his chair and never said anything or looked at me.
Omigod.

This is hilarious I can't believe I wrote this "new life filter" just yesterday. Ah yeah. Hopefully it'll all be better in the morning.
