Your Therapist Canceled On You? Twice?
Situation: Your therapist canceled your appointment — not once, but twice! And you really, really, really, really, really needed to talk to her this time.
Feelings: sad, depressed, rejected.
Goal: Get off the ledge! You can get through this.
Yes, your ex just became your ex again. Yes, your mom just got engaged after three weeks of dating someone. Yes, you just quit your job — on a whim.
All of these things are true and need to be heard by a professional.
But, until then, you have Chocolate Eclair Cake.

And, if you're still feeling super down, watch some YouTube videos of cats doing funny things.
