Oh, and when they do start to thaw, it's hell for several months until you get the hang of it. Just letting you know now. But you do come out on the other side and it's not so bad after a while.

Thank you - that gives me some hope...I will say I started to get in touch with my feelings though and it was really hard but then they just shut.off.altogether. Which is highly irritating. I was doing better in my relationship with my husband too. It was awesome....I noticed that I felt closer to my T and then that spread to other areas of my life. Then all of a sudden nothing. I completely disconnected. It's a big setback IMO. The only thing that makes any kind of sense whatsoever is that he changed offices which is so ****ing minor but that's when my feelings went away. Ugh. Am I really that sensitive?? It makes me feel mad at myself that I can't handle something so minor. I guess I'll just try to give it some time because the more I fight it, the worse it seems to be.
