I emailed him later that maybe the silence of the past week is really me fading away, that all I need is him right now, and to please stay close to me. He replied, "I'm here" Does anyone pick up on that he gave me what I wanted. Not the clinical response of too much dependency on him.
Is he helping me or hurting me. Usually he would say to reach out to him but also to family and friends.

Sounds like you're having a rough time right now, and he is there for you. I wouldn't worry about the dependency thing. Sometimes we need crutches to get around because we're not able to walk by ourselves. Are we dependent on the crutches? Of course! But we only use the crutches until we're able to get around without them. The dependency problem comes when we are perfectly able to get around, but refuse to give up the crutches because we still believe we need them.
In the past, I've done the emotional equivalent of crawling around on my hands and knees because I refused to use crutches. Didn't want to depend on them, so couldn't walk at all. That's just plain stupid.
