Hi Nadezda--
Yuck, four weeks is a long time. I think it's normal to feel alone when your therapist isn't around, no matter how many other relationships you might have. There just isn't anyone who sees you in the same way.It sounds like you're beating yourself up for being isolated, which makes things worse. I do the same thing--thinking there must be something about me that makes me doomed to be alone. So I isolate further. This does create a vicious cycle. It helps to try and remember that those thoughts aren't necessarily true. I'm sure most of your isolation--if not all--is due to chance/ circumstances. Hang in there.
