I don’t have anything useful to contribute to this thread, I just wanted to say I feel this way with people too. I wish I didn’t, it makes me feel weak and unloved most of the time.

I have emails, voicemails, a scrapbook, transitional objects, etc. I am able to retain some memories and feelings, but they start feeling like lies. Like I can't trust my experiences. After 2-3 sessions back, I'm able to reestablish our bond. But it's so frustrating. And painful. The disconnect sucks!
Any advice on how to get better at object constancy? How to maintain the "with-ness" feelings?
