This is true. In about two weeks I can start the upswing and return to my life as I know it. That feels a long long way away.

Thanks,
Open Eyes. I appreciate your input. T does know how seeing the person affects me; we've got a long relationship that is pretty much centered on trying to work through the abuse and its effects. Seeing him this week helped me calm down an eensy bit. You reminded me that sometimes making a "to do list" can be helpful for me after seeing him--like, "at 10:00, watch X movie and clean up the living room. At 1:00, go to the market." So thanks, maybe I will do that when I find myself with free/anxious time in the next couple of weeks.
