Hi Brooksie and welcome to Babble. I'm sorry that such difficult times have brought you to post here.
I agree, it sounds like you are going through an awful time. You don't say what exactly happened to bring an end to your therapy with this therapist and I understand if you'd rather not share that but perhaps now is a time to try and look forward. Learn from mistakes, grieve but try to hold onto hope that the future will bring a fresh start and a new chance to improve your life. People make mistakes, people fall into bad habits - that's part of being human and thank goodness there is normally a chance in time to pick yourself up and try again even though it's hard. What is positive is that you were able to make considerable progress with your former T. You should be proud of that - yes your T facilitated that but change doesn't happen without your part in it too, and clearly you did some hard work the last year.
I don't know the full story but my feeling is try not to be so hard on yourself - give yourself another chance and try to move on. It's good you are going to see a new T and hopefully you can begin to work through what has happened. It sounds like you are at the bottom right now and it's time to start figuring out how to climb back up again and process all those feelings you have.
Babble is a very supportive and understanding place. Don't be afraid to reach out to people here. I hope the appointment goes well next week. Try not to be too hard on yourself, these things happen.
Witti
