I think it is important to try to minimise your triggers while you don’t have the support of your T nearby. So it’s okay to pull back and avoid threads/posts/posters that could send you into a spin.
But don’t forget that even while you do that, babble can still help you if you’d like it to. We can talk about safe things too. Like camp comfort, or your mossy place, or whole new wonderful places. Keeping a warm connection to people who care about you could help soothe you a bit.
Just need to stay on the lookout for potentially triggering stuff.
Having said that, if reading is too dangerous, stepping back is perfectly okay too.
Did you end up going to your last T session? I know you were thinking about ditching it. Did you and your T end up talking about ways to cope while she’s gone? I’d love to hear about them if you wanted to share. If it’s too hard, I understand and that’s okay.
You’ll get through this.
(And you’re not pathetic at all. Your zombied brain is a way to protect yourself. Protecting yourself is a very good thing. And with time you will learn more and better ways to protect yourself.)
You *will* get through this. And your T will be waiting for you on the other side.
