Don't give up completely trippin', maybe with time but I'm glad your comfortable in your singleness.

When do these Ts and pdocs assume I will "recover"? how much time, a year, 10 years, 20 years ?
I would honestly ask them. They may smile and try to divert the question when being asked a "loaded question." but they'll answer.

If not, do they think i'm a bad person?
If they do get a new Pdoc and T

[AM I] doing something wrong?
ask them in a more positive way. Do you think there is anything I can do to get better faster?

My feelings on the topic:
I feel the goal is more a series of longer and longer remissions than actually recovery. You recover from an injury, or surgery but chronic illness of any type is a remission situation. I know how frustrating it is. Your not doing anything wrong. I know my condition is for life and so is my treatment team. My goal is for my team to feel that I can handle seeing pdoc 2x yr. and T 2x yr. because I wont be petrified to ask for help when I need it. The hardest part is I've promised that I wouldn't manipulate them into that feeling that way.
