I finally saw my old T one last time on Oct 11th and will start seeing a new one on Nov 13th. I think he is highly sensitive to my tone of voice and things I say and do as well. Unfortunately, sometimes we really know how to give each other a very bad time. But I do think we love each other and can be very sweet to one another too! I find some of our conversations comical but don't want to offend him by retelling it here. Given how he found me after my serious attempt, I think when he thinks I am getting mentally unstable it really does cause him a lot of anxiety. I am sure he occassionally monitors me. I have accepted it and just work around it.
It is good to hear that there is hope for me!
