It's not that I don't think I would survive. To the contrary. Because i can survive, I don't think I'd bother to look for a new T. I saw my ex-T for a couple of years and never really got anywhere with him - at least in terms of developing a relationship. Part of the problem is that I was so depressed that we had to spend too much of our time talking about meds (he was my pdoc also) or just trying to keep me alive.
I've been working with my current T for about 6 years and for most of that time, you couldn't get me to acknowledge that I had any sort of attachment to her. I just feel that developing the therapeutic relationship I have with her has been such hard work. In her view trusting people enough to allow them to know me is my big issue. So even though I've been working with her a long time, I'm still way behind the curve of most people here in how attached I allow myself to feel to her, and in how easily I talk to her etc. It's just so overwelming thinking about starting that process all over again with another T.
