Thanks, Lost. I started crying right at the start of the session with R and apologized, then I apologized for two other things, like taking up some of her time with the emails yesterday. She said, "OK, you've said 'I'm sorry' three times in the first minute. You've hit your quota!"

At the end, she also told me I should look in the mirror and say, "I'm not a giant mess. I'm just someone with strong emotions. I'll get through this."
