I'm invisible. I don't exist. I had thought things would be better now. They aren't. It hurts so much. I try to tell her something interesting and before I'm even finished one sentence she's jumping in to tell me something about someone else she knows. I try telling an interesting story and I can tell no one is listening. So I stop talking mid sentence mid story. No one even notices. Do I even exist? I want to go home. After I sit here and cry for a couple of hours. Then I'll go cry some more when this post gets ignored like my other posts do. Because I'm nothing.

He said that we can email as MUCH as we want (100 times per day). Believe in this - it is challenging fears about being punished. It is okay to be seen. You are not a nuisance. "Too much" simply means exploration, not punishment/withdrawal. Trust in him.

Not looking at him is about keeping aspects of self hidden/secret. We know that is not the healthy choice. Keep working on this - you will get there.

Accept there are parts. Be kind and gentle with them. Working with parts and feelings is the key to happiness. We have been happy before when listened to them and accepted them and were open to feelings. Write in your journal - it is safe to do so.
