Oh hun... *hugs* I wish I could take it all away.
I don't know that anything I can say right now will make it a lot better. I can only hope that my deep concern, the fact that I REALLY do care about you, and that I DO NOT want anything bad to happen to you, will have some postive impact while you are in such a dark place trying so hard to hang on.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to have to go through what you did mentally and emotionally to prepare yourself with that letter only to have it post-poned for a week where it leaves it on your mind and causes havok on your emotions.
From everything you have shared I can tell you are going through hell right now and desperately want to hurt more physically instead of emotionally but you are also trying to fight with all you've got to hang on and not slip away into that darkness.
Please hang on. I know you can. Reach out more to us and any support system you have.
All of us are sending all the love, support, and care we can to you.
Is there any way you can get into contact with your psych and tell them what it is doing to you to have to hold off on dealing with such an explosive emotional issue and how afraid and out of control you feel about it?
As for not being able to go back to work, sweetheart, please try not to feel bad about yourself for that! There is no reason to! If so, then I should feel bad about myself, too. My doctor, psychiatrist, and therapist wrote almost the exact same thing about me. It was a little hard for me to accept in the beginning, especially because of my age, but I tried to work through it.
I don't want to see you hurting more because of issues you face that don't reflect in anyway on what kind of person you are or what your worth is. You are an amazing person, someone so many here care about, appreciate, and care for. You are worth care, support, compassion. I know somewhere in your heart you know that things you are blaming yourself for or beating yourself up about, are really not your fault.
As I said, this may not take the anxiety or pain away, but I do hope it helps.
You deserve some TLC right now, some special time for yourself. We are here if you need us. Remember that we care and you aren't alone.
Please be safe and keep us updated on how you are when you can...
*more hugs*
