Of course you do. It is normal to miss people we care about when we don't see them for awhile. The more we care about them, the more we miss them.
I think we also miss how they make us feel - safe, or warm, or happy or heard. When we are with other people who can do this for us, the missing doesn't hurt as much. When we are with people who don't do this for us, the missing is worse.
So - what can you do to help yourself feel a little more secure and a little more taken care of? Your therapist would want you to be taking care of yourself. Can you write to him, journal or send an email? Even if you don't actually send it, sometimes having a conversation with him will really help. Can you escape into a really good book, where you connect with the characters and feel good things through them? Movies can provide the same comfort and escape too. Try to sleep late and eat right and get out and walk a little every day. The weeks will go by and soon you will get back to your normal routine.
And keep posting. It always helps me when I'm feeling lost and sad.
Hugs,
Daisy
