Hey, Ozland. It's hard to be in the noone'sland between a really bad reality and a possibly much better one, but you'll get there. You've taken one of the most important steps and broken away from your old T.
I'm sure you've givethis thought-- but just incase-- you maybe should make see if your new T can reschedule you from Friday to a more stable day. I know Friday's are nice, in a way-- fewer days between the last appointment and the beginning of the next week somehow is comforting. But if he's away a lot, it can also be more depressing-- lead to more let-downs and more feelings of being abandoned, which you don't need. Maybe you're underestimating the immediate effects-- in feelings of being depressed, which come "out of nowhere" when he's away, especially with so many other struggles and challenges, with a preoccupied husband and maybe not a good fit in a job.
Those can be demanding to cope with, even when there aren't historic and other psychic reasons why it's hard.
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that this weekend in particular something's been pulling you down - but I hope your nap was at least a release and perhaps even restorative. People say a walk in the park --or a shower--and I find that reading a a magazine or watching a little TV can help-- Whatever takes my mind off my own thoughts-- sometimes gives me a little emotional boost-- however silly the thing itself might seem.
