I'm here, SD. Sorry it's so hard right now. I know the feeling well, although I seem to have escaped it this time.
I know it's hard to believe, in spite of the fact that you have lots of evidence that your T won't leave you. But he really won't. And if somehow you can try to control the damaging self talk, I think it will make things easier for you. Can you replace the things you have been saying to yourself with things like, "Of course my T will come back. He promised he's not abandoning me and I trust him," etc.?
Someone else can probably do this better than me, but somehow if you can reframe it, I think it will be easier to handle the vacation.
