You're probably off yachting or something and you don't care about me at all!

Yep, and I imagine you're in a place like I am, where some of my usual coping skills aren't really an option. Or, I guess, in my location, some are becoming an option this week or next, but I wouldn't really feel safe going there (like, say, an in-person yoga class or having a beer in a taproom).

I can't believe nobody has contacted me today. My feelings are starting to get hurt.

Dear T,

Aw. Thanks for saying you're proud of me. That means so much to me. I don't quite know how to articulate how nice that makes me feel, and unless I figure it out I don't really want to tell you... but maybe I should try? Maybe I shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good? I dunno, maybe I'll email you the day it happens (maybe when I'm a little tipsy hahahah). Or maybe I should wait to do it "in person" (over Zoom)?

I dunno. Either way, it was really nice of you to say that, and to get all choked up about it.

Well I guess now I can't be upset since you texted me to see how that dumb appointment went. So thanks.

Dear T,
OK, this is going to sound silly. But I think of you today saying how your dog is really needy. Yet, you didn't make her leave the room or tell her to get down off your lap. You just kept petting her. Is it like that with me? You see and can acknowledge I'm needy, but it's OK. You're not throwing me out of the room. You're not kicking me off your (metaphorical) lap. You're just going to keep (metaphorically) petting me, letting me be there with you. (Do I dare to actually tell you this? I...would leave out the words "petting" and "lap.")

Love,
LT

My guilt complex has completely taken over today. Added to the guilt I already told you about I am now feeling guilt about asking you to talk with me about the stuff I emailed you. You shouldn't have to deal with that. Then again you're the one that reached out to me this time. I would not have called if you hadn't. Not to say I'm blaming you. You're obviously somehow still sensitive to me enough that you knew I was wanting you, you can't help that, any more than I can help wanting you! And it's your nature to want to be there for your clients/trying-to-be-former-clients. I just feel bad and guilty and overly-needy of you. What are you going to say about all of this next week?

I feel like if I switched to a male therapist things would be a lot better and I’d have this huge weight lifted off of me that I’ve been carrying for a long time. I know what the problem is. I know the issue is that I’m deeply attracted to you and that it is really affecting my ability to function. I know the reasons I get into these funks is because I can’t stand being away from you. I know it doesn’t have as much to do with the virus as much as it has to do with the pain of being away from you. I think about you nonstop and it’s becoming such a big issue that it’s taken over my life. I know I need to just tell you. But I honestly don’t know if I can.

But that is the honest to goodness reason that I’ve been acting like this and feeling like this for so many weeks.

I feel like our session went very well yesterday. You are caring and empathetic and I really do appreciate it because this is a tough time for me.

Having loads of trouble sleeping, can’t think of any reason why but I keep thinking about you. Maybe I miss you. What is it trying to tell me? I’ll try and ‘sit with it’ some more.

Don't think I want to turn up this week.

I'm just tired of myself.

I have all of these questions I want to ask you, but I don’t because I fear getting the therapist response. So I’ll refrain. Attachment is hard. I don’t even feel comfortable talking about it, even though I know it’s part of my work. I’m just afraid I’ll be rejected.

I had a nightmare last night where I found out that you don't recycle. So now I've been wanting to send a text demanding to know if you recycle all day.

I keep telling myself not to be inappropriate, but sometimes it's hard.

How the hell is it that you're younger than me and have your life together better than I do? Karen is being super loud and judge-y about this.
