Hey JD, when I get sick with a virus I always feel a lot worse emotionally. I think there can be a strong connection between our immune systems going on high alert and our brain function, at least for some of us, and even if they don't understand why, yet. In fact sometimes I'm relieved to realize I've got a fever or a cough or sore throat-- I think "Oh! I'm just sick, it'll pass, thank goodness." So... can you hang in there a few days and try to think/hope this current bad time will be over soon?

It is terrifying sometimes how attached we are to our T's, but your T in particular is so dedicated to you and to his work, and is such a good T, that I think you are quite safe. The obsession part is probably because he is meeting some unmet needs from long ago, but I think it will ease up and be less stressful after a while if you can stick with it. Your T is a good guy by all accounts.
