tigergirl: Thank you. I like your idea. I am where I am, and I'm working hard. I agree! It bothers me, though. I overreact to not getting what I want. I get disappointed too easily when I don't get all the attention, like here on the forum. But when I do get the attention, I feel I don't deserve it.

Sannah: I'm not sure what my need is. There's more than one. I don't WANT the feelings to pass. I want the good feelings forever. I want to press replay of my session, posting here, and getting replies. It's a huge need and I can't explain it quite the way I feel it.

granite: thank you. Yes, I want to hold on to the good feelings so as not to think they didn't really happen! I want to savor them, write about them, think about them, which is okay. It's getting others involved that's the problem. I can't drag others into MY life like that. It's selfish. No one wants to do that. I'm not sure what I mean.
