That's pretty much it. He's in town, but not really working. Stuff has come up. I'm freaking out. I left 2 messages - one kind of raging and crying, one trying to calm myself down telling him what I thought he would say to get me grounded. I asked him to e-mail, but I really don't know if he's checking messages or e-mails. I guess we didn't leave it very clear after my last session.

I just have to get through it minute by minute. And it sucks.

(((((((((((Tree)))))))))))))) Sending big hugs to you! He is there... he is with you. You know he WILL respond as soon as he is able to do so. You know he keeps you in his mind and heart and wants to do all he can to help you out. I hope he is able to respond soon.

"I need T and his not there" Perhaps if you can think about whether its a loving "Not there" may help you? I know for me anyone not being there meant they were "angrily not there", but knownig someone is perhaps "lovingly not there" may bring some comfort??? Perhaps???

(((Treehouse))) I hope your T contacts you soon. The not knowing whether T will has got the message and is busy or hasn't got the message is the bit that would bother me, like you are in limbo. Is there anything you can do to try and distract yourself for now?

aw, crap, tree. This is what we're all afraid of happening when our T is gone or unavailable. I'm so sorry.
I'm glad you called him, keep doing that if it helps.
I'm also glad you posted here.

(((((((((((PC)))))))))))))))

T e-mailed me yesterday. He knows just the right words to say to bring me back to an "I'm going to be okay" place, and he said them, and it helped. And he helped me understand why what is happening is so freaking difficult, and that helped a LOT. Like...I'm not CRAZY, my reaction totally makes sense.

Even after I got his e-mail, I was having a hard time, so I finally called my sponsor (I'm in a 12 step program) which I almost NEVER do...I can ask T for help, but it's still scary to apply that to other people sometimes. Anyhow, she was on her way home from work, so she invited me to come over and sit in her hot tub and talk for a few minutes. Normally, I would say "no way", but I knew I had to get in a better head space for my kids, if nothing else. So I went. We sat in the hot water and talked and I was only there for about 30 minutes but I felt cared for and loved and like my feelings mattered, and I was able to get it together enough to come home and be a good mom.

Today is Friday. Something is happening today that will be really hard (the thing that triggered me in the first place), but once I make it through that, it will be tomorrow, and then I'll see T on Monday.

I'm just going to try to stay out of my head and soak up as much of my kids' Christmas joy as I can.

Thanks for this!
geez, Irine, rainbow8, WePow
