IC is like that for me too - sometimes is is anything but comforting. Apparently it means you're working hard and will get the benefit - my IC says it's like being sore after you've been to the gym.
I've been reading a book about a therapist called Maybe You Should Talk To Someone and it's about her clients, and her working life, and her personal life and how she dealt with being a therapist at the same time as she was in her own therapy dealing with the aftermath of the unexpected breakdown of her relationship with her partner. It's really interesting and funny. I've been seeing my therapist for over two years and I'm pretty attached to her, and I know a little bit about her but not much. It's a weird relationship - kind of close and distant at the same time. You might enjoy the book.
I hope you're back on an even keel today. Separation anxiety is horrible and I get it very badly. When things were good between us, H used to give me a jumper of his to sleep with when I went away for work. I was like a child or a little puppy. Off to kick ass in important meetings across the country, and coming back to the hotel to sleep with my H's clothes. People are strange. I think you dealt with it well. I am going to take a leaf out of your book the next time it strikes me and get busy when it comes on.
