Experiencing/perceiving the desire for connection with her T as a need doesn't make it a need though. Needs are about survival: food, shelter, water, etc. If our needs are not taken care of, our actual survival is threatened. Rainbow, you may feel like you cannot survive without a connection to your T, but that is not the reality. The reality is that your T is actually already there; it just feels different to you right now. You are experiencing an emotion in response to perceiving a change in your interactions with your T, but you can certainly live through feeling that longing learn to recognize that she hasn't gone anywhere except in your mind.
