(((((((((PTSD))))))))))))

Those breaks are hard, especially when we see T twice a week.

Posting here helps me. Dividing the time into "chunks" helps too. So, I see him Monday and Thursday. Once Monday comes and goes, I tell myself, ok, I only have to miss one more appointment and then I can see him (instead of "OMG! I STILL HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK TO SEE HIM!"). I try to plan something that keeps me busy - like REALLY busy - so I don't have as much time to miss him.

Usually, when he is gone for a long time, I write a LONG e-mail and usually never send it (although I've sent it at times too). I just keep it in my drafts and add to it as I need to. It helps to get the things I want to tell him out of my head, so I'm not hanging onto them and letting them bounce around in there...even if it's just "I miss you and this SUCKS".

My T goes on a lot - A LOT - of vacations, so I have way too much experience with this

Hang in there. Post here. We're not T, but we can at least offer a little support
