(((((Falls))))),
What is normal? Sounds like your T must have his own set of coping mechanisms and the ones you employed this weekend didn't fall into his definition of "normal". That's *his* stuff.
I constantly need alone time where I don't do anything productive other than clearing my mind for a while (which I would argue can be very productive). My T understands my need for this time. He's never indicated to me that this isn't "normal". I also have friends who aren't dealing with mental health issues and they do the same.
I'm a little surprised that your T is labeling any behavior of yours as normal or abnormal. That must feel pretty lousy for you. I think it's important that you talk to him about it even if by Thursday you aren't feeling angry.
I hope you can get through this quickly so you can get to the bottom of your anxiety.
Take care of yourself and until Thursday do what you know works - lots of ice cream, games, and TV.
Big hugs,
Laurie
