I realize when I am doing it too often, but it's hard to stop. It's one of my main goals right now.
I stopped texting T except when she initiates for scheduling stuff, when she told me she was running low on her monthly texting plan. Awkward. I feel bad taking up so much of her time anyway, but the additional thought I was causing her to limit all texts was enough to get me to stop.
T and I talk about the email issue a lot. I've been getting A LOT better, and it's really helpful when T acknowledges that I've been doing well on that account. Right now, if I email T once per week, she'll send a quick reply. If I write again, she typically won't answer. Even though I know this, it's hard not to send more than 1.
I guess constant contact with T is kind of a huge issue for me at the moment. I think once I start having some other people in my life, it will (hopefully) get a bit easier.

I totally relate to this. I think I desperately feel the need to continue the connection with her after session. But it's probably not going to end well. I just feel I need to keep connected and the things are so bad ATM I don't know what I would do if I couldn't connect. Then I worry if she doesn't reply and I worry what she thinks of me. It's a mess really!
