My mental health tanked during the one week my therapist was out of town and I am embarrassed about it

I never had attachment feelings for previous therapists, but now that I do with my current one, it has totally awakened some very needy toddler part of myself that sometimes counts down the days between appointments. I totally relate to the feeling of hyper-dependence and wanting to hide that from view. My therapist is going away for Memorial Day so I will have to wait a ~whole week~ to see her instead of a few days, and since my depression has steadily been getting worse, I'm already worried about what kind of mental rabbit hole I'm going to be crawling out of at our next appointment.

I don't have any advice, just solidarity! I'm sorry you've been going through such a hard time. You're not alone.
