Over Christmas and New Year when I knew I wouldn't see my T for a fortnight but I knew I'd have a lot going on and would feel like contacting her (but felt it would be inappropriate to!) I journaled every day - basically writing to T, letting her know every thought in my head. Then I printed it off and gave it in at our next session. Maybe you could try doing something similar, so even if you don't think something is 'worthy' of an email (I know the feeling of trying to think of a 'good excuse/reason' ) you can still put those thoughts down, maybe put them together in a sort of round-up of the week's events to send/give her each week/session? Just an idea. I know it can be tough to feel like you need that connection and feel like you can't just reach out for it as much as you'd like...

I guess we need some distractions, eh? I think part of my problem is that I really don't have much else going on in my life right now - because of the depression and anxiety I'm not currently able to work, and I don't really have much motivation or interest (or money!) for hobbies. I don't want to be hypocritical here, and I don't know your situation, but is there maybe something you could take up to fill some time and give you something else to think about? I'm trying to think of things I could do but so far I got nothin'... If you figure something out give me a heads up!
