I can not bear this attachment I have. It is all consuming, I can't function without daily contact with him, I feel defined by him and non-functioning without knowing he is in my life to help. I hate how desperate this part feels whenever I decide I need to drop therapy all together because it hurst so much. I become depressed, destraught and withdrawn as well as suicidal. I need his help navigating through these emotions but everytime I sit to write this note I cant do it.

I fully understand why this attachment happened. I have read enough on my own and have read about peoples suffering with it on this forum.

I am not in love with him. It is not sexual. I do love him but I am not sure in what capacity, father, dear friend, something else. I have never felt like this before so I do not know where to file it in my brain.

I can not deal with how this makes me hate all that I am for feeling like I am nothing without his help and attention in my life. It makes me feel small and broken, weak and pathetic.

I am overwhelmed by this and fear I am going to end up in the ER from a botched attempt of easing my pain.
Seems pretty close to a finished product, what you have written. Maybe just a few edits if there are things that are too forward?

I really relate to the "don't know where to file it in my brain" thing. I had similar experience, though I was in live with my T, but still parts of the attachment and dependence were beyond my reckoning and terribly confusing.

And I also understand that feeling of being so needy and demanding that you fear T will exit. Someone told me their T said "nothing you say will cause me to leave". Wish my T had said that…

I'm sorry you are suffering through this.
