My T is only going for a week... sometimes how it affects you is more about where you're at in the process, than the actual length of time they are going for.

I did admit that her leaving does make me anxious, but I doubt I'd be able to go much deeper then that as I try to avoid emotional issues. Lol I don't know how much she's really aware when it comes to my emotional reactions because I usually minimize everything. I'm guessing she knows this to some degree.
I agree it's way more about where you are in the process. I've never felt this anxious before even when she had left for longer due to family issues. Also, I'm already anxious when in the past, the anxiety wouldn't come so early.
I hope you find some way to comfort yourself aw well. I thought I was the only one that felt like I needed to "fill the void" with something that I might feel comforted by.
Thank you for your post!!!
