I don't know how old you are of course. When I was ......O God, which age shall i pick?....well, when I was under 30 my emotions were so intense and my mind so clear I didn't think I could stand it. Now that I am almost 60 everything is starting to fall apart so it hurts much less, or something like that.
All perfectly reasonable stuff you write there.
I did a lot of therapy. because I am rigid and stubborn and whatever else, boneheaded or courageous or nothing, I went to therapy forever. Was it a good idea? Search me. Was she a good therapist? Yes. Very good. My attachment to her was interupted at year 3 and we never recovered something. I suppose a feeling of intense attachment or love? Now, so much later, I feel I should have bee able to deal with it (my general state of mind) better, but I have no suggestions for myself back then. Finding people you love who love you who you can be yourself with, of course. Easy to say.
