i posted this in my other thread but i guess no one saw it. so i figured i'd start a new one:
hey guys. i'm really struggling now and in need of support. It's been a week since seeing T, and i have another week to go. I'm halfway there, but def. feeling it. I emailed my T just going on about anxieties i was havint and stuff, not expecting a response or for her to even read it til she gets back. but she actually responded to me. heres what she said: Sorry, I have not received your phone message. My cell phone does not receive reception here. I am thinking of you and I know you can hang in there. I will see you soon and we can talk about all the things that have or are making you anxious. You are doing good taking care of yourself and I am proud of you. Be good to yourself. See you soon. T When i read this i just started crying. I really miss her, but i'm scared of the things i have to deal with when she returns.  to sum it up, i'm just depressed.

is it possible for you to journal some of your anxieties and stuff? that way when your T returns, you could show her those thoughts, and it might be easier than talking through them? your T obviously believes you are strong enough to take care of yourself over this holiday period. also note - she said "we *can* talk about all the things..." - ie., she didnt say we *will* talk. that means - the choice is yours. she won't force you to do anything you're not ready for.... |

I know this is little consolation but you only have a few more days to go. You've already been through the worst. I'm so glad your T responded. Imagine that, she took time of her vacation to let you know she is thinking of you and she cares about you. You must be one special person. Sending you lots and lots of

It is so hard when T is away. I just came back to therapy myself this week. But how nice that she responded to your e-mail! Way to go T!!!

I find that the middle of my T's vacations are the lowest point for me emotionally....because it's been a long time since I've seen him, but still a long time before I will see him again.
Is there anything fun you can do to distract yourself? A movie? A book? A hike? Getting together with friends? Keeping busy helps me a lot, but sometimes I have to just be with the feelings some too. As much as I love PC, sometimes stepping away from PC for a while helps...sitting at the computer reading about Ts seems to make it worse sometimes. I'm glad she e-mailed you

what a wonderful email -
and what a good relatonship it sounds like you have with your T - as has been said - try writing down whats bothering you - I'm sure you and your T can work this out together

You could journal and draw a line down the center of the page, then write as if you are emailing T, on one side of the page, and respond as you think she might, on the other side of the page
I hope the days go by fast

thank you everyone for your support and ideas. tonight was really hard because i spent the new year alone and i was just longing to be with/talk to my T. It was nice that she responded to my email but i really wanted to talk to her on the phone. (never good enough is it?) sigh. I just can't wait until she comes back.
