(((Hi WePow)))

I don't know if I can offer you any comfort with this... but I could relate to that phrase. I felt like I had an anvil dropped on my heart when my previous T told me she was leaving (retiring). I stared blankly out into the universe and I asked what the point was. It was as if my mind and my body were lead and it hurt to move, to think. I tried with all of my might to just keep breathing... and one week went by, then two and three. I went to see other T's but was numb and angry just under the surface. Nothing was right. Basically going through the motions. I did not want this change. Four weeks... Then I met my new T. At first I was still numb but there was the most tiny thaw. And now... knowing it was so hard, I also know it was the right thing. It was the right change. This new T has said things that are new and different and it has all helped me. I can see now how this change has actually been a benefit. I guess I am not saying there is a purpose to everything... there are some things that yes, seem to have no purpose... But I can say that I went from feeling so hurt, to feeling cared for again (and like I can keep working). As mixedup_emotions wrote, it does pass. Just keep breathing and focus on the now.
