It will be okay. Stress makes all of these things worse. And you have had a lot of stress lately. I know it is scary to think that your T is going to be gone for July, but think about the current. T will be here with you throughout June to help you get balanced again. My old pdoc used to always get on me about worrying about the future and would tell me that doing it would just make my anxiety worse. I needed to focus on the present and let the future take care of itself. So remember that you have another four weeks before your T goes on vacation. And you will be able to work with her during that time to get everything back on control. Could you possibly see her more than once a week right now?

While it may seem like your T has not helped because your OCD symptoms are flaring, think about all the skills you have learned to help deal with them. Can you put those skills into practice to help reduce them. It sounds like your T has you started on that track with making sure you are taking care of the basics. For without the basics, you can't take care of anything else. Sometimes we need to return to basics to help steady ourselves.

Please take care of yourself.
