Hi, well, I'm new... I've been lurking and reading for a while.
I often wish I had someone IRL who 'gets it', but attachment/intimacy/abandonment issues are not exactly conducive to having that kind of close relationship.
I'm struggling to write this - don't much like drawing attention to myself, so I'll leave it at that...

Do you go to therapy? Maybe this is something therapy could help you with, if you're unsure. If you are in therapy, maybe you could bring this up to your T? Do you have anyone you can talk to that leaves near to you?

Hi SilentVoices, yes, I'm in therapy, been just over a year now all told (though 6 months of it was couples' therapy). My not having 'people' is probably the main reason I'm there. I get really panicky when people start getting too close. Of course, this doesn't help much with developing a 'relationship' with T. I keep thinking he's just BS-ing me, pandering to pathetic-girl.

I accused previous T of trying to trick me by essentially being nice to me. Previous T dealt with that by turning right nasty on me. I miss her like crazy - go figure. Treatment was time limited and now I'm too scared to call her and ask to go back. Current T works with her and I think he might be pushing me in that direction, but then again, he might be bs-ing me... Lol, I crack myself up;-P

Hi clarelisbeth:-)
Painful, yes, 6 months of pure ow, and sometimes I feel like I want to see her again if only so I can pitch a 2 year old temper tantrum and throw all her couch cushions at her head. But it wasn't -bad- IFKWIM. I learned a lot about myself in that time, including the fact that I tend to believe that people who are nice to me are trying to use me somehow.
