My Therapist is noticing lately that my needs are not getting met and that I've been reaching out to others too much to fill a hole of emptiness that's within me or that I latch on to the wrong people and things. It's rare that I'm satisfied. The feeling doesn't last too long when I do experience some level of satisfaction. I often get very frustrated, sad, and often rejected when my expectations aren't met.

I thought more about what she said, and this is a real struggle for me lately. I tend to reach out to both people and things for comfort, but it's usually either 1. the wrong people to reach out to, who can actually trigger me. This is especially unhealthy when I'm manic or 2. Engaging in unhealthy habits/behaviors

I've also been super sensitive lately about what others think of me. I guess I'm afraid of losing the people I have in my life, so I analyze if I say or do the wrong things. I'm looking for some healthy ideas/ways of coping that doesn't require relying on others for your own happiness. Yes, I have some healthy people in my life, but I don't want to rely too much on them either. I don't really know where to begin. Can anyone else relate? What do you try to do?
