I think it would be fair enough to tell any potential therapist how hurt you've been by losing therapists. And make sure they have no immediate plans to move or leave in any way for a year or so.
But I know that's not really long enough to ask for.
I wish I could afford to buy instead of rent. It's scary to put so much reliance on someone. :(
Sometimes I can identify a reason, sometimes I think I just assign a reason to the ups and downs of my mood. If life is perpetually stressful, it doesn't take an immediate stressor for it to pile up. Therapy can be quite good as a pressure valve.
Was your old therapist CBT? Did he teach you ways to think or techniques to stay calm and relaxed? If so, would it help you to mentally go over them?
Hold on through the hard times, and seek whatever help you would find useful - therapy, medications, meditation.
