I know it feels like you're alone. I'd feel the same way. But you aren't. You have friends here and friends in real life. It's not the same as a therapist, but it is something.
I totally get what you're saying. When my therapist left me, I was angry. But when we were preparing to move out of town, I couldn't bear it. Never did I think that leaving him would feel worse than having him leave me.
But this was a well thought out decision. You had reasons for leaving. You haven't gotten to know this therapist well, but in some ways it seems like he is there for you in a way your old therapist never was. Your old therapist seemed to be always spacing your appointments further apart and telling you you were doing great, even when you tried to tell him you weren't. This one is telling you to call him, and to see him, and hears - really hears - when you tell him you're not doing so great.
He's not your old therapist, but he does seem like someone you can rely on to help you manage your way through this, and then to other topics as well.
