Thank you for sharing.
I think we all have this very private part of ourselves that would shock (SHOCK!) those who think they know us best. I actually said in therapy today, "I looked in the mirror this morning and realized that no one would ever know to look at me that I'm on the edge and a complete wreck." And we talked about how it felt to not have my pain seen.
I have a picture of my therapist that he gave me when he went on vacation. On the back it says, "I'll be back!" and I have most of the voice mails he has ever left. Sometimes when life is really tough I will listen to all of them, even though they are a disjointed collection of things, because he ends most of them with "I'll talk with you soon, or I'm sending you good thoughts." It is a silly comfort but it works.
I'm so glad you have these things to get you through the long vacation. Your therapist sounds very sweet.
