I want to have some space to feel other emotions about other people/other situations!

I don't want to go back to having that incessant urge to be in contact with her...it isn't healthy to feel that way about someone who I can't develop a 'real' relationship with.

What I want is to get some space between me and all these feelings again but everywhere I go and everything I do all I feel is a deep pit of pain in my stomach that I can't seem to remedy.

I want to learn to put my feelings aside and live my life.

now she has come back I am feeling all the pain of her being gone but don't want her anywhere near me.
Abby you can't learn to put your feelings aside. I would suggest you jump into your feelings with her and explore them in session. This is how you are going to be able to move past this - by jumping in, not avoiding.
