I been seeing my T for 3 years. Every year she takes off from 3rd week of July until after Labor Dat (6 weeks) as she has school age kids who are home for the summer.

It's so hard for me to be away from her this long. Last year, I had out of control episodes when she was on vacation and my family kept asking me when is T back from vacation.

In the past 6 months I had 2close deaths in my family. My Dad and my beloved dog. I'm still working on getting out of this depression.

I am starting to have anxiety now about her vacation. How do you handle when your T goes on vacation? I was planning to ask her to leave a message on my voicemail so I can keep listening to it while she is away. I'm nervous she won't do that because she once told me she doesn't want me to be dependent on her.
