Perhaps if you just start doing it, the feelings will come with time. (Actually that never works for me, but I hear it does for many people).

I think feelings of guilt and abandonment under the circumstances are probably natural. Calling it the "poor little me syndrome" is the sort of negative self talk that I'll bet your therapist frowns on. :) I think you should give yourself the same understanding you would give to others in the same situation.

She has suggested I do a few positive things for myself every day, even if i don't 'feel' like it...much easier said than done I'm finding out...Yes, it is. But probably worthwhile advice nevertheless. (Mind you, I have great difficulty following it.)
Take care of yourself.
