oy - totally relate. bites. i, too, screamed internally when my t told me she cared about me. Actually the first time, i nearly went suidical because she told me - it was too painful a thing to hear.

These days both my MD and current T have told me not only they but also the other one cares a lot about me - just incase I missed it the first time, i guess. It is starting to get easier to hear... but now I wonder if I will fail them either by not getting better or.... yeah.

hang in there, complic8ed.
