I like you, Rainbow, and I'm sure lots of other people here like you too.
How involved are you with people in real life on a regular basis? Do you have either a paying job or a volunteer position, or some kind of regular, structured routine that interests you and helps you feel good about yourself? In the right environment, those experiences can provide both a distraction from the intensity of your feelings toward your T and the opportunity for new relationships, so you're not always relying on only a couple of people. You may need to make some changes in your life so that you can get your needs met in ways that your H and your T can't do for you.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
