Goodness, you're so sweet. Don't worry about me. I've got some resources, my T., who is really quite wonderful, and... uhhhh....Babble and Babblers! Guess I was just wanting to give an *excuse* in advance if I go suddenly much quieter...
It's not exactly me. Daughter and son-in-law are apparently intending to divorce, after 15 months of marriage. <sigh> But it may be for the best. I may start a thread and tell all about it on Relationships, or Social, soon.
In addition to that situation, I've just been sliding, sliding down anyway.....just when I thought I was staying up, up, up in my mood. Go figure - depression is a sneaky animal. Ah, well, I have to believe this too shall pass. (but...hurry up!)
Back to YOU....it sounds so good what you're doing about your workmates, etc. I am not surprised, as you always show that strength here.
I SO agree with falls - your T. is not going to terminate you. It's really just a matter of prioritizing for different people, differing needs right now, it seems. I know your need to interact with him is HUGE. But perhaps think of it like Maslow's hierarchy (sorry, can't spell tonight) right now for your therapist. He's still dealing with the basic needs, hardly much higher than food, water, shelter, safety, etc. You both are, in one way of thinking about it - if you don't take it completely literally.
What I'm trying to so awkwardly say, is the consideration and fulfillment of the higher needs will come. It will. I'll bet it'll be a great comfort for him to see you as well. It's just the waiting for that time that's so very hard.
Keep hanging in there. You're doing splendidly.
