I think you will be okay. I still remember discussing this issue with my T and her suggesting I think about her on vacation and hope she was having a good time! :-) You couldn't have gotten much further from my thinking.

I use to sit in the bathtub with the shower running. That is so comforting to have the shower running down on you; a warm, wet "curtain." I actually had trouble for awhile remembering to get out and would sit there too long, be late for work, etc.

One thing that sort of helped me was reading? Don't know if you can get away from your husband/kids enough to read books that can confort/help. But the parallel nature of the books I'd read would help; the characters would be feeling what I felt and that would help me know I wasn't alone and also I could let them feel it "for me" and just think about them when I had a tough time of it and couldn't read. I'd have a bit of trouble with crying while reading and forgetting there were "others" around who might come in. I often go to bed an hour or two before my husband and that helped so I could have a little alone time to think/cry.

I always wrote letters to my T and the mailing helped because then I could anticipate/picture her getting back and reading them.
