I know you have helped alot of people here on pc including myself. Your validations have gotten me through some dark times. I'm sure others would agree.
@guy1111, thanks!

My therapist was trying to get me to think ahead in terms of what MAY happen and how I would handle it so I am not blindsided and left without options or plans in my pocket. He told me that was his intention.

But it had the opposite effect and made me extremely anxious!

And thanks for the support..... you're very kind. I hope I've been validating for you in your own situation. I try.
