Hi Crushedout,
We all love you no matter what you do.
But, forgive me for this post, because I am going to be a little stern. I think you are way too obsessed about this therapist and your feellings etc. You have emailed her anyway, even after deciding to get one day off. If you cannot stop yourself from obsessing about this for one day, I think you are in pretty bad shape. I think this good email is again a manipulation on your part. (creating a better excuse for yourself to email her and contact her). Stop means Stop. Period. Sometimes, it is good to be a little stern with yourself and not give ourselves any leaway. If you go at this rate, you will soon become overly obsessed with her.
Try to take more responsibility for your feelings.
Sometimes, it even helps to distract yourself from your current problems so you get a rest. Try to do something else nice, like going to see a movie or read news etc. If you are focussed on your problems all the time, it is very very difficult to ever get out of them.
I have been there before and I know how I came out of it. Distraction is a real helper. Also realise that there are innumerable people who are worse off than you in the world. Life is not fair for anybody, and it is no use complaining about it all the time and getting sucked into our own miseries.
Sorry if this post sound a little curt, but I feel you need to take a more stern approach towards your own feelings.
I care for you and I love you. But I want you to become better instead of getting yourself immersed again and again in this difficult situation.
Pinkeye.
