I'm new. Thank you for this space and your collective wisdom.
My long-term T has been out since last week; her father is in hospice. She will be away until after he dies and the family sits shiva (they are Jewish; shiva is the 7 day intensive mourning period after a death). I feel empathy for her, and all that.
But, I also feel abandoned and panicky and I''m not coping well. I know it would be helpful to be talking or writing about my feelings or something (I am bipolar, with treatment-resistant bp depression), but mostly I am just shutting down. I feel so brittle. Any coping strategies? Reassurance that I'll make it through this? Thanks for listening.
