i'm so glad that you were finally believed but i'm so sorry that your Aunt knew from experience.

i would try to stay front as often as you can to help deal with this in bits and pieces. if it becomes too much then i would trade off so that you don't have to deal for awhile. putting it off entirely will just make it harder to come back to while immersion in it could leave you feeling completely helpless/hopeless esp since your T is not here at the moment. so i would sort of rotate between the two and only take as much as you can handle at a time.
((((((((((w_i))))))))) i wish i were more help. you guys can PM me anytime you want/need to, ok?
