I’ve been seeing a therapist for almost 2 years now. I really like them and they’ve  helped me process through a lot. Lately, my job has been contributing greatly to my anxiety and depression. When I bring it up in sessions they just tell me to quit because “life’s too short to be miserable” and “it’s not going to get better”. While I understand this is an option, and it would probably reduce some of my problems - I think it would make my anxiety worse because I don’t have a back up job, and it would be financially stressful to live on the savings that I do have. It feels very much like I’m trading one awful reality for a different one. 

Now I’m stuck in a cycle where I’m anxious to go to therapy because I know I’ll get anxiety about them telling me to quit, but I need to go to therapy to help with the anxiety I get from work. I know I can find a different therapist but I’ve built a lot of trust with them, and it was a long process to even finding a therapist that was a good fit and covered by insurance . 

Has something similar ever happened to anyone else?
