I understand completely. I love my psychiatrist! I have loved him for over a year. I have been working on these feelings (which are strong and real) since I told him my feelings over a year ago. He is kind and patient and believes it is much healthier to discuss these feeling than deny them. He has, also, shared his strict boundary rules that do not allow him to be romantically involved with a patient. He calls it a "slippery slope." I still love him! He's the best. He can accept me "as is." Imagine that. So, hopefully, you can discuss your feelings for your psychiatrist with her. She will probably welcome the opportunity for the discussion. Yes, I have felt "obsessed" with thoughts of him. You see he simply continues to be himself, which is so unlike any other relationship I have ever had, that I keep strenghening my tie to him. You're ok. There are others like us. You are just being human and honest. Don't give up. Widget
