I really think it is important you find another therapist. You need to place yourself around positive people as much as possible. The first time I met my therapist I broke down in sobs after she closed the door...lol That is how I knew I found the person. With the first therapist I felt I had to be strong and act like I was fine.

As far as a support system, use us!!! I know it's not the same as family and/or friends and I can only imagine how hard it is. But I check this website all day everyday and will be here to listen to you anytime.
