Oh, I'm sorry you are having power issues and are cold in addition to being T-less! I was powerless for 3-4 days back the last hurricane and I hated that but at least I was a bit too warm, not cold (hate being cold). Sorry you can't even get comfort from us on the computer but have to save your battery in case it is some time before power comes back.

I'd make a list of places that might get power sooner or have backup generators, etc. and see if I couldn't figure out a way to go there for some part of each day. Do you have a college or anything near you? They'll probably have some buildings working, maybe the library; a library where you could take your computer and plug it in and be near a student union for hot cocoa or something in a snack bar would be ideal.

I'm sorry you are without power, that really sucks. I'm sure your T is thinking about you since she is without power and it is your usual session day today.

Thanks for this!

Hopefully the electricity will be turned back on soon. (I understand that millions of people lost electricity because of the recent snow/ice storm on the USA's east coast.)

It's not surprising that your T has cancelled appointments because of the power outage; please don't take it personally. When your T's office re-opens, please discuss the emotions mentioned in your post with her and clear the air. It sounds like you need your T a lot and rely on her for a lot of emotional support. I am sure that she is trying to help you; her office is closed because there is no electricity - not because of something you have done or said!

Until all is back to normal, I hope the support from your friends here at PC helps!
Thanks for this!

When our roads were closed last winter, my T's office was closed. He didn't call me directly (and I know he has my phone number saved on his cell phone)...there was a message on his voice mail when I called that said the office was closed and to call to reschedule.

It didn't mean that he hated me, or didn't want to see me, or that I did anything wrong. It just meant that the office was closed because of bad weather.

Try not to make it into something it's not.
Thanks for this!

Your T didn't cause the power outage and probably is just as frustrated about not being able to work. Not being able to call during a power outage is a pretty common problem so you really shouldn't take it as a personal affront. Why all the "I hate her" and "she hates me" language? Think this through. You are taking a completely impersonal and stressful situation and turning it into something personal. Slow down. Light some candles. Roast some marshmallows. This power outage isn't about you. It didn't happen to make your life personally miserable. It just is what it is.
Thanks for this!

Seconding that warming hug
Last winter I lived in an apartment that had no heating, the building was like 300 years old and too big to ever be warm. I had four blankets and wore thick socks and a poncho almost every day. In between feeling cold and sleepy I found myself really pissed at T for having a warm, comfortable office that I couldn't just live in. I totally understand. Hope you get electricity and to see T soon.
Thanks for this!

I also want T when things happen like storms or emergencies. That's normal. I would be angry, frustrated and disappointed too, even though it wasn't T's fault.

I hope you can stay warm (is your husband there to help?) and comfortable until you get your power back. Sending WARM hugs to you.
Thanks for this!

No, you're not being a drama queen. The reality is that you're in a tough situation there and I don't blame you one bit for being angry and frustrated!!! It's awful to have no power for so many days!! Are there shelters to go to in your neighborhood? The malls? Somewhere out of your house where they do have power?
Thanks for this!
