Aww I am so sorry you are struggling with missing T. I know the separation is awful and I am sure that come december when T takes a holiday break I will be here crying the blues again.
It is so difficult. The things that helped me when T was away are journaling, posting here, posting here, posting here (LOL). Keeping busy as much as possible, walking and using my relaxation tapes.
I hope you keep your appointment. One visit is better than none!
Be good to yourself.
