You're ahead of me, dreamer. I was on my way to end things and my T intervened and I was hospitalized for it overnight. I am on the edge most of the time, hence the very open line to my T 24/7. He knows if I call him, I am very close.
Yes, you do become two different people. As those feelings get closer, you'll get more anxious and more stressed. I know, I'm there most of the time. I can't deal with my issues.........I have a closet in my mind and all my problems are in boxes, labeled. That door stays locked, although my T has pushed my buttons a few times.
Anytime you want to talk, let me know.
