shrinking_violet -
I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through. When I read your posts I see such a kind, compassionate person that it really seems unfair to me that you have to go through all this pain. I know you said you're scared your T will have you locked up if you tell her how you feel, but maybe you could tell her a little bit of it at least? I understand that you may not feel able to - I am having lots of trouble telling my T how I feel about leaving him for the summer, and spent almost our entire session last week silent - but I'm going to try really hard this coming week to just tell him a little tiny piece of how much I'm going to miss seeing him. Maybe you can tell her at least a little tiny bit of how you feel? I'm sending you all of my extra courage (sorry it's not that much) and all of my support in hopes that maybe you can just tell her a little tiny piece. Maybe she can help you with a little bit of your pain and then the rest wouldn't have to seem quite so overwhelming.I know that none of what I said is at all adequate to relieve the depth of your pain, but try to think in terms of little steps -- getting through the next five minutes, the next hour, the next week. And please try not to keep all of your pain to yourself IRL. Try to give a little bit to someone else and let them keep it for you.
Again, I am so sorry that someone as kind and caring as you seem to be has to go through pain like this. Please find comfort wherever you can, and try to hang in there.
