MLS,
I think this is the beginning of what I hope will be a long, supportive, mutually beneficial and beautiful friendship. With the exception of the anorexia and I wasn't the valedictorian of my senior class, I can identify with what you have written. I use food as a crutch. I've wanted a relationship with a man but I'm commitment-phobic. I almost got married once but I couldn't do it. Now, I'm 47 and alone. I was a very social person and had no trouble making friends. Now, it's easier to just stay home alone. I have struggled with my weight. I have always felt the need to keep myself together. I could keep going but I have to stop. I'm suffering from a migraine but I wanted to get some kind of response to you ASAP. I may be in bed for a few days with this migraine. For now, don't worry about the fantasies. I think they are perfectly normal. More on that later. Please don't feel that you are alone. See if maybe you can find a card for your T that says, "Can I have a hug?" Ask her if it would be o.k. to call or write occasionally after you move? Better yet, maybe just write to her after you get settled. This way you won't have to worry about getting a negative response when you ask her. Once you are settled, if she doesn't respond when you write, you will have another T to help you deal with it. In the meantime, I hope everything goes well for you on Tuesday. If I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to ask. Post something or send something via babble-mail. If you want, I can give you a phone number where you can reach me. I've been able to relate to 4 or 5 posts but nothing like this. I'll check in as soon as I can. Hugs.
