I am visiting right now and leaving in a few days. Sometimes I think of previous times leaving or seeing/hearing a family members face and saying good bye. Or them actually saying goodbye really causes the emotions. I get sad just being around family -only if I am leaving again soon. Otherwise if its not close I don't think about it as much and fine. I've been trying to block my thoughts. I notice if I just relax and blank out it helps. It gets more intense at different times in the day. Mornings are the worse I guess because I have less on my mind. To stop it I try to think logically and try to picture others saying goodbye normally and not having a problem. The thoughts just overwhelm me at times. Any ideas to help me get these thoughts out of my mind?? Its so horrible and consuming. I feel like I have a knot in my stomach.

Also, try to think about me past this point -in the airport or at my home happy after this period but it kinda helps. How can I get my brain to change this ??
