I think curling in a ball has its appeal sometimes.
I also know how tough it can be do "make nice" with people when you are doing all this hard work. Being open and wounded makes you so vulnerable to hurt. Plus, the energy it takes to have a conversation often makes me want to make ALL conversations "count." This can be isolating and overwhelming to my friends.
There is a place in everyone's life for "just" fun friends. Getting together with a group of people doesn't have to mean holding soul searching conversations. It could be a distraction that you need right now while she is away. I think we have to guard against therapy becoming our life, vs. having it help us have a better life. It is easier to do that sometimes with a group that knows nothing about your therapy.
Just a thought. I'm sorry you are hurting. She'll be back soon. Hang in there.
