Dear Janedoe-

I`m sorry you`re in this pain. I really dont have any good advices or perhaps not even any comforting words, yet just wantet to let you know I read your post and wantet to say its good that you "ventet" about this stuff.. (thats the point of this forum, right?) and i`m glad to get to "know you" a bit..
Your long and important travel, your meeting with your family + your Ts absence- all of this must have been very triggering happenings in your life.. Dont odd (not right word?) at all that you had an reaction i think. I dont either think its strange that you feel falling apart and struggles even if your T only been away for 2 days- I think its a very normal reaction to kind of "fall back" again, when the nurturing/helping person "suddently" is back- and you can let your gard down again.. I also have reactions like that and wondered why the F*** it happens.. seems so unreasonable..

Hang in there janedoe! I hope your T helps you trough this stuff and can guide you trough this confusing, sad, angry, despair-feelings of yours and put it all into a perspective that will help you.

If anything i wrote here in forum, is one of the things that has triggered you in a bad way, i am really sorry for that. Please let me know if it is.

All good to you-
janedoe

WOW, you have every reason to feel a bit knocked sideways right now. What you did with your brother, talking and validating was huge work that cannot be underestimated. Really, those sort of conversations are so big and so important. I am so glad they were protective and respectful of you too, that's just as it should be dear janedoe.

So I guess those emotions have triggered other ones once you got home. So well done for reaching out to the crisis line and I am really glad that got you through. And I so hope that your T will return your call to her. Don't worry about not knowing what to say, the fact that you called is the important bit here. That's hard to do sometimes when you feel so vulnerable I know.

Take care janedoe, please keep posting,

starfish
