The big answering post is so helpful, altho i get confused as to who said what! But thats because im waiting to go into t. See, i understand what it MEANS if my bff says happy new year, but not my t. I think!

Eta: t was like: that i totally reacted to him as if he were my mother. I think he felt kinda bad about it, that i wasnt able to see him as anything else. The good news was, we contained it to just our texting interaction, i didnt overeat or do anything else stupid afterwards, and i kept on cleaning house and doing other good things for myself and just generally not being depressed. Which is a HUGE accomplishment for me. Gee only took 40 plus years to get the hang of this therapy stuff! honestly he must think im an idiot.
