Sadly therapists sometimes put a time frame on therapy so you are less likely to become so attached & also so they can see others, otherwise, therapy would be never ending. Its hard to cope with sometimes. Were you aware at the start of your therapy that you had 12 sessions?
I'm sorry you're finding it so tough. Do you feel able to talk to your therapist about how you feel? Perhaps in the next 2 sessions you can work towards coping without therapy & what strategies you can put in place. The end of therapy doesn't mean the end of your recovery, it doesn't mean you're well but it does mean that you probably have picked up a lot of skills you can use outside of therapy & you can work towards getting well on your own. Do you think you could make a list of all you've learnt during the last 10 sessions & put it into practice? Do you have any other form of support, say a CPN?
Taking an OD as you did is a typical BPD behavior, have you learnt any other forms of coping strategies during therapy so if you feel like that again you can hopefully avoid it? Did you do any DBT?
Finally, I'd urge you to seek some medical help for the OD as any type of OD is dangerous & although you might feel well, your insides might not.
