Hi Daisy -
Sorry you are feeling so much pain. I know that feeling when your heart physically aches for something/someone. When I have those horrific days at work, when I'm overwhelmed before I have even started, and cannot bear to walk through that door, I literally set 15 - 30 minute interval goals.
I'll talk to myself throughout, "just get to the parking structure" ... "now reply to phone messages" ... "fire 'x' employee (that's always the toughest)" ... my heart beats so loud throughout the day. And moving through space feels so heavy.
Time isn't static, that's the good news. Somehow or other, you'll get through it. I am so happy that your therapist is back in town and being so supportive. You have to let him back into your soul. He wants to help you, let him. It's okay to feel like a 4 year old. Our moms always came back to pick us up and tell us we're okay ... even though on the inside we're reeling "how could you leave me here, like this?" Your therapist so much wants to be there for you. He'll know just what to say to soothe you.
Good Luck and I'll be sending good vibes across the coast.
