Mari, I also love Jane Austen. I have reread all her books multiple times.

Dear Bobby,
I had some great responses to share, but I thought better of it. I don't know if it's therapeutic to get into all this now?

Oddly, I always believed that I had no business reading anything until I had been through all the "classics." Just being too hard on myself (ah, too alike!). I read whatever I want or can borrow these days and it's just fine. Read what comforts you, and maybe offers some kind of escape?

I'm so sorry that you're scared, and that you weren't able to make it to your therapist today.
((((BIG HUGS))))
