Hi Elaine,
I just got a little burst of energy started around 3pm and I'm gonna ride it until I crash. You know. don't get so many good energy days that I can waste.Pink roses, and a man that cares enough for you and for himself that he takes a very very brave step and "confesses".
I think you are an amazing person, and you deserve to be loved. Step back and think about it-- you have told this man and showed this man so many of your scary vulnerabilities and he just wants more from you. You HAVE done a lot to stay committed to this relationship, even when it crosses the line from therapy to social work to courtship to YOU providing therapy and back again.
Are you a little proud of the work that you have done together? Can you ride that wave of positive feeling and take the next big step? you know what it is...
But I also understand that this stuff is a process. I know that your body health right now is really holding you back, and insofar as your T acts as a social worker/case manager/devoted friend, I think you're right- he's not a bad guy. He's helping you in many ways. And you are amazing, because you are able to accept the help, even as you try to resist it because you have a negative self-image and are ashamed of your health situation some days
you have some special love IN you, and I can tell that one of your greatest strengths is your ability to support others and take them seriously.
You deserve pink roses and more :)
