You are no crybaby. You are a human being feeling genuine feelings. Please, please stay safe and in touch with any T. or find another way to be sure you don't hurt yourself. I'm worried for you. Can you go to the hospital or call someone if it ever gets really bad? I can hear the pain and I have been there. I know how it feels to be desparately lonely. Really I do. The key is to not isolate yourself. Like Daisy said, you have to connect with people. In my experience, it almost doesn't matter which people or how you do it. Volunteer, church, work, a gym, absolutely anything where you are with others, sharing a look, a smile, a word and it will feel a tiny bit better each and every time. So slowly maybe, but I absolutely swear to you it will. I lived in quite a bit of isolation for many years and it's no way to stay. We just weren't created to be alone. But it happens, through circumstances in and out of our control. I know.
Anyone who can feel so deeply for their old T. as you do,is a loving, giving person who would make a great friend and new therapy client. Hang in there and try to catch yourself if you notice you're spending a lot of time lost in thought about the past. It's so very natural, but too much eats away at your soul. I do about anything to distract myself and find that one day goes easier without so much sad thinking. I don't to make it sound esy, but it can be done. It doesn't have to stay so lonely.
Let us know of anything we can do to help and please keep posting. ((((((LG)))))
Why don't you let us know how you feel tomorrow, okay? I care, too. --10derheart (aka Deb)
