Not allowed to go back to my own group.

Today was my last day of IOP, and that went well. At the end we get a certificate of completion and also a coin, and I liked that. I was pretty proud of myself.
I was scheduled to start an individual group on Wednesday but now I was told that the location I go is no longer allowing people who see outside therapists/get their meds outside from the facility to go to their outpatient groups. They've never had that rule before. My clinician just found out yesterday.
I couldn't help but cry in group after because I was angry, and I cry when I'm angry. How are they removing the one accessible service I have? I'm trying to do well by my mental health and am doing the best I can, and then everything backfires.
I did find out later that one of the other locations will allow virtual visits, but I had a group all set up here that I was in before IOP. I had been established there, and now I have to start new, and virtual at that.
My therapist is going to see if she can find other places and get back to me, but I have my doubts.
Guess I'll have to deal.

Oh, that makes me angry for you, Dez! I'm so sorry, they should've let you know further in advance so you and your therapist might've been able to work something else at a different location. I hope you two can figure something out soon.
