Update Therapist and back pain

Hey guys I just wanted to update you all on what’s going on.
I talk to my therapist today and he is ending things with me and has referred me to a female in his practice. I feel abandoned and scared. I knew that we were talking about this I just didn’t think it would be happening this fast. I see him for the last time on Tuesday and I see a new therapist for the first time on Friday. Not too sure what to think about all this. I know that it’s probably going to be a good thing because I need to speak with a woman therapist about traumas that has happened to me as a woman. Next week shall be interesting.
As the nerve block goes that I had done yesterday I am still in a lot of pain. They said that the steroid would take a couple of days to reach full affect. I see my pain doctor on Monday as well as my psychiatrist on Monday. I have a full week of appointments I think the only day I don’t have anything is Wednesday and Thursday.
I don’t know why but I feel completely lousy. I really just want to get in my bed and sleep for forever. I did get outside and got some sun in today.
This evening I’ll be going grocery shopping with my neighbor so it should be interesting with my back. I’m just so darn tired and I wish it would just go away. I want a normal life. Whatever “normal” is?
Thanks for all the support y’all

Hey all, i know its been quite awhile since i posted on here. Its been a summer all right. Its been something else........... You know how they say not to open the can of worms? Well a few months ago i decided to find out what my due date would have been for my first baby, the one conceived by r***. My baby would have been due on March 4th of 2006. They would be 20 years old. I was R**** on June...

In my 20/20 hindsight, I believe the changes in therapists was a good thing in my own case. Most of my formal therapy was through government agencies and public clinics and I changed therapists quite often. The gender never mattered much to me (both genders have saints and assholes), but the differences in perspectives broadened my options considerable.
Hope the changes all work out for the best. Healing hopes. Thanks for the updates.
Don't know if the nerve block is like the steroid shots in the back I have had. If so, it did take a couple of days for some relief. Was followed by a second one a few weeks later that gave full relief.
Hey, I think most of us can relate to feeling lousy, especially when physical stuff is also going on. The combination does drain us. Things shall improve. Shower of healing and comforting hugs coming at you.
