so, i'm not sure what to make of her lack of response. i know many of you have struggled with this, so i thought i'd reach out of some support and understanding. thanks for reading.

I do understand, and have empathized with many email sagas here on psychcentral. There are 1000s of reason why you have not heard from her.
What might help is if you made a list yourself, and you can certainly share it here (perhaps we can even make it a sticky) for some potential reasons.
Some could be funny (always good) or whatever you are feeling (also always good).
Bottom line, you will either hear from her, or you won't. It's about coping until you know.
Maybe even making a list of coping strategies might help.
I know this must be sucky, but it is self limiting. It's not going to hang around forever.
