Your right it probably was just a friendship and I misread it. The trouble is that I'm really messed up in the relationship area. Last year I read the same signals with someone else and I got clobbered. So now I'm sitting at Dairy Queen and I see a picture on Facebook of her and her new boyfriend - my anxiety level went through the roof. I'm kinda scaring myself with this continuous ebb and flow. Now I probably won't sleep tonight and I feel defenseless against this assault. My feeble relationship history really makes me vulnerable to anxiety swings. Thing is I'm almost a senior citizen and I'm still having reactions like I'm in high school - yikes! I guess I could unfriend her but I don't want to. Right now I don't want to leave Dairy Queen because I'll be alone. Help!

Have you looked into counseling? Preferably with a man? In the short term, since you think you will be sleepless, you can set up something for yourself to do: laundry or working out or reading a good book about a place you'd like to visit someday. I suggest counseling. I think you'll find it more effective than posting the same thing over and over on a website. I hope this helps.
