That's why I suggested trying to find support and relationships and love from other people as well. If one person is the only source of it all, it doesn't sound good and maintainable.

Completely agree and my T even said something similar. It is only "obsessive" feeling now because I'm dealing with the reality of it all still. I do have support. A few people off here that I talk to elsewhere, other online friends, I even met up with an old friend last night for dinner and my best friend is there.
I've got trips planned, volunteer gigs, my work, plans to move, things to keep me busy. I don't like the obsessive side of my anxiety, so I try to kick it in the pants asap before it gets out of control.
