So why am I still so sad? He won't be back for a couple weeks, but is feeling better (not sick from the pain meds), so we can do phone sessions until he's back. That made me happy. But I still feel awful. I knew I was depressed about stuff other than him being gone, but I thought the suicidal thoughts would go away. And yet, when doing homework near a window I was wishing it opened so I could jump. I feel so sad.

Phone sessions just not the same.
I like to SEE T, to see she real, to see she OK.
Mebbe thats why you sad?
Hard to be so attached too.
But I SO glad he gonna be OK.
He seems a good man.
And he trying hard to stay connected w/you, so thats so good.
There's proly lotsa reasons you so freaked, but thats good you got a good T to help figger them out.
Take care.
Hope you feel some better soon.

I think IWS is correct. Phone sessions are great when nothing else is available. But they don't meet all our needs as well as in person sessions. I did however like the fact that I didn't have to change out of my jammies to have them, and could curl into my daybed.
For me at least, those thoughts also take on an obsessive quality, and it's hard to shake obsessions. Particularly if you try not to think about something.

At least you have the phone sessions for now. Even though they're not the same as being with him face-to-face, but at least you can hear his voice and know that he's near.
Think about it this way: It wouldn't be good for either of you if he wasn't completely present during your session. Isn't it better that he take the time, now, than come back before he is ready, and then possibly need to take even more time off?
Would he considering doing phone sessions more often if you need them?
I hope your T gets well soon, so you can see him again.
Take care.
