This is ridiculous.

About two weeks ago: loved my T, warm fuzzy feelings, etc...

Last week: terrified of her, terrified of life, hated myself, etc...

This week: warm fuzzy feelings

F**k

I can totally relate. It sucks

I just try to remind myself during the times that I'm mad at her or scarred of her that I will soon be back to loving her.

I can relate to that - my T talks about the push / pull and how that relates to everything in life - either we want to go forward towards something or pull away.

It sucks that the pattern is so obvious, yet I have no control over it.

I'm so glad you posted this actually, I was getting really frustrated with myself because I can be amazingly fine and doing really well one week.. then the next week I'll turn up and cry my eyes out and be a complete mess and feel like I can't do anything. I keep thinking my T is going to get annoyed with me and my "1 step forward, 3 steps back" approach.

I struggle with this too-warm/fuzzy feeling followed by inexplicably angry feelings! I'm pretty sure it's normal, but it's definitely scary and frustrating. I feel so much safer and more connected when feeling warm and fuzzy (plus they are just definitely easier to feel!)

Uhm, yes it sucks. Welcome to the rollercoaster. If it makes you feel better, having my t on whatsapp and seeing her updates and profile photo adds to the mix in my case (=sometimes it's good cause it shows her as a normal person, sometimes wayyy worse as I get a glimpse of how fulfilling and well balanced her life is, while I'm stuck here in this f****ng house far from my city and loved ones and T and subway and supermarkets that stay open after 8 pm). How are you by the way?

It's weird how that happens. But I do understand. What if you just started to accept that sometimes you'll hate her, sometimes you'll love her, but that is ultimately part of the relationship as a whole? Can you really have one without the other? Especially in a setting that intimate? I wouldn't beat yourself up.

“I’m good at loving books. I’m good at loving soft bed sheets. I’m good at loving coffees and teas. I am good at loving things that can’t love me back, that don’t have the power to leave. And maybe, that’s why I love them.”

With CBT T I can go from "meh" to "warm fuzzes" to "lust" to outright irritation , all while following him to his office!
Thanks for this!
