I broke down crying and had to ask T for a tissue, which I've never done before.

yes

I feel he is sick of hearing about the kitty, and the kitty's body. It was traumatic to find the kitty in the way we did. gruesome, even

I feel I do, but I guess you're right. You have good insight

none of me wishes to reach out. I just want to keep my pain and self-hatred self-contained. Ergo, I don't call him until I feel better. The fair-weather patient.
