Today, and for the last three months, I’ve felt super incompatible with my therapist, but I don’t know how to fire her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my therapist broke up with me after almost 3 years. I can’t pay people to listen to my problems. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML
Today, I realized it's been over a month since my last therapy session. My therapist canceled on me and never got back in touch to reschedule. FML
Today, my therapist told me she can’t see me by herself anymore because frankly I have so many problems, I need separate therapists, each with their own specialties, to work together on me as a team. I didn’t think it was that bad. FML
Today, I’m pregnant and have been experiencing the most severe depression of all my life. My long-time therapist asked me to think about whether “this is the right time for me to be in therapy,” then dropped me as a client. FML
Today, my former therapist told me she couldn't give me the support I need and hung up on me. We haven't worked together in almost a year, but I really need the billing statements to file insurance. FML
Today, my work-mandated anger management therapist gave me some sage advice: "Get a new job." FML
Today, I’m mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted, and I feel like the only person I can talk to who actually listens is my therapist. FML
Today, I was supposed to have a therapy session for my anxiety about work, but it got cancelled. My boss has been berating me for 2 weeks about my performance as a newbie. I feel like she doesn't like me and it's messing with my work even more. I'm dreading going to work tomorrow with the same problem. I can't get fired again. FML
Today, I found out the reason why my therapist was so nice to me all of the time. Apparently, she is afraid that I'm going to stab her if she pisses me off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Find a new therapist and then quit going to the original one... If you find the new therapist is not a good match either - Look in the mirror, your problem might be there. You have to actually put into practice the recommendations of your therapist to get improvement... OP, I'm not saying everything is on you - Sometimes there is a mismatch. But you have a responsibility too.

For clarification, I’ve been with her for a while. It’s just recently that we’ve started growing apart. And I have told her, but it hasn’t gotten any better. So no, it’s not me.

So, here's a really crazy thought: Have you considered having an open and honest discussion about it with her? She will probably be thrilled because that is exactly what she has been trying to teach you for the past few 3 months.

I've got this. At your next appointment ask her out. When she rejects you, have a pissy little tantrum and leave, insisting you'll never be back. I call it the 'Tony Soprano'. However, the twist here is you don't actually go back like Tony, and instead you set yourself up on BetterHelp.com and find a therapist tailored to your current needs.
