T away, hanging in there

[Digz]

Almost 3 weeks into my T being away on leave. Struggling big time tonight, but trying so hard to hang in there. All the memories looming, making it hard.

Hiya @Digz. Sorry that your having a tough time. I haven't seen my counsellor in months so I know how you feel.

Thanks @Survivor3 . That sounds terrible about your T. Are they away?

Can't see them because of covid. I chose not to do phone/video calls.

I know it's hard when your T is away on leave. I've been there. Sorry you are struggling. What is helping get you through this?

I'm doing a bit better today. It's just a matter of struggling through those tricky days. The other day I wrote a long email to my T, even though he's not there and I wasn't expecting an answer, but just writing like I was kind of talking to him helped me get through.
I'm keeping busy and planning things on my days off work when I would usually have therapy and that helps too. The tricky part is finding the balance because my body gets run down and tired very easily, so have to balance the keeping busy and resting so I don't burn out.
