I saw your post last night, but couldn't climb out enough to answer you.
I'll give you the standard one that docs use - once you SI, they stop contact with you for 24 hours afterwards. I disagree with the reason behind their answer, but you can't fight it.
I wish I could say or do something that would magically help you or make you believe that people do care. I hope you realize that mine is genuine, and that you can PM me anytime at all.
And yes, once you have really tried to do it, it becomes easier. Please don't let yourself get pulled into that feeling of comfort - I'm fighting it all the time and it really drains me.
I'm not going to let you fall out of our boat - we've rowed too far together.
