You must do what you need to for self care, but somehow I don't think withdrawing from all social contact is a good answer. You say you are going to be selfish and whining about yourself for a long time... but how can you know this unless you plan this? I know you feel it might be forever, therapy often does when you begin to work.

I hope you will reconsider coming to PC. You are why it's here... for all of us to come when we are out of sorts...WHILE we learn how to live more abundantly. If you wish, you can limit your posting to one or two forums, and if you use chat, then the usual rule of read more than you type could make you feel better perhaps about now absorbing everyone's time. What do you think?

I hope you share your feelings with your T, and get T's advice too But TC in all ways.
