Im sorry this metaphor doesnt work for you. But thanks for opening it up to me.
No, I get that we are the focal points of our own lives, but in my interpretation of the metaphor the 'foreground' people are the close people we share our lives with, and the 'background' is other people who maybe are very important, but who we don't engage with as much. Like perhaps loved ones who are dead, or friends from the past we don't see anymore, or therapists.

I wish I knew what I wanted, that would be a really great start...

The things she does are wonderful. Not bad. It's just my crappy brain gets upset at the contrast of her when she is physically 'there' or responding to my communications, and when she is 'not there' in that way. I know I am being very unfair and unreasonable, by the way.

I have had a rather bad day so far in terms of everything going wrong, and I'm handling it ok and calmly, and curiously don't feel the pangs of wanting to contact my therapist. Not sure if I'm just coping pretty well or in fact withdrawing in a weird kind of way. Although, I am determined I won't let myself actually withdraw and go bananas and cancel even if I do start to want to
