Jexa-
I'm sorry your T is away right now. That does seem like such a long time. Did she leave you with anyone to contact, someone who is covering her practice while she is away? Would listening to her voice mail message be helpful? I've found that useful when my T has been away before. Have you looked at the coping strategies on the SI board yet? Maybe one of them will look like it would be good to try. I don't know if this is true, but I picture you as an outdoorsy person. If this is true is there any way you can get outside and enjoy nature? (hopefully there is good weather where you are.) Please keep posting if it helps. Is there anyone you can call/contact just to say that you are having a hard time but not what it is about? I know sometimes that helps me.

You are so strong to be able to start talking about this. I'm sorry that your T went away right after you started. That is really bad T timing. She should have known better. You will get through this. You are so strong.

I'm going out of town shortly, until late Friday night, but I will think of you when I am away. I will check in when I get back. I didn't want you to think that I was ignoring your posts.

Please take care of yourself. You deserve it.
