Oh, Daisy, that sounds extremely painful. For what it's worth, I'm glad that you are at least aware that this seems to be a depression, in a new, distressing form.
I wish I had some suggestions for you, but I don't think I do. Here's what comes immediately to mind:
Can you take your post in and read that to him? I'm thinking that at least it's something, even if it's stuff you've said before to him.
Or do you think you could try to put a few words to what's happening when you stop trying to scramble around in your head? The wordless tomb? But, I guess, if it's wordless, then that must be hard to do. Although, the words "wordless tomb" seem very powerful and descriptive to me.
I used to do art therapy, which was wonderful at times like this. I could get out the dark paints, and slowly make a swirling mess. Or paint the whole page solid black. Somehow that seemed to help, although I couldn't explain how.
I hope you find a way out of the tomb. Thank you for posting here and asking for support. And for going in to see your T. I hope you can feel his support, even if you also feel bad about making him feel bad. I know he would want you to be there, regardless. In other words, I suspect that you wouldn't be helping him, or yourself, if you don't go.
