Thanks for all the responses! Interesting to know that others feel this way too. I think I am going to do some painting tomorrow (day off work, yay!) and hope it helps process some of the stuff that came up a couple of days ago (HEAVY) which is causing me to have trouble sleeping (hence being up super late and feeling pretty overwhelmed
)

Yup, this is what it's like for me too. It's always hanging over me. I wish I could go twice a week but my insurance doesn't cover it
I wish I could email her more too but that would open a floodgate that I am sure she could shut down pretty quick!

I really like this idea. Leaving stuff in the room would be such a relief. I guess it already feels like this somewhat but to leave behind something physical ... sounds like it could be a powerful way to cope.

Yeah I talk to my dogs
The listen intently with their heads cocked to the sides, LOL. Actually not that different to my T!
