I'm being touchy feely. Or full of it, idk!

No, I do NOT feel isolated, by her or by anyone else--- jeez! How can I make that clear? My best friend is actually reading over my shoulder right now laughing hysterically, threatening to build me an igloo! He said he'd visit, but then maybe people would actually believe I wasn't isolated, so he better stay away! lol. What I was telling T during that session last week was that all the dating I was doing got me exhausted-- so I'm taking a break from dating-- and I'm not interested in meeting anyone right now. I'm tried and I'm feeling claustrophobic. I just want to spend time with my friends. My T misunderstood all of that and thought I must be feeling isolated, like I'm "giving up" on dating and beating myself up or something. I said NO! I'm just tired! I went on too many dates, met too many people, had too many people calling/texting me, I wasn't into them, so I just want a BREAK! I'm doing a bunch of fun stuff with my friends (just got back from vacation, have another one coming up) and I want to focus on them, and on my career. I'm not having a RL problem with any of this; my only problem was T not hearing me. As my best friend is saying over my shoulder, i'm going to him to act as my therapist to deal with my relationship with my actual therapist! He says I owe him a $10 copay, but he will settle for a frozen yogurt.

No, you have it backwards. I'm the one saying STOP! LISTEN! Let's talk about our relationship! Let's work this out! And T's saying "what? Everything between us is fine!" That's why I just wrote her the e-mail saying that I want to talk about her not hearing me!
