...and goes out in public like she's a normal person or something!!!
I went to lunch with a coworker, kinda close to where my T's pracitice is. So during lunch my psychiatrist walks by the big windows outside the restuarant. But its my psychiatrist, I dont care that much. He is allowed in public. Then 30 minutes later my T walks by the same big windows! This causes me to fill with panic and sorta become paralyzed in mid-conversation. I tried to pull myself back to the conversation with my coworker as to not seem weird. Really though, I have seen my T out and about before and I have come to realize that she is infact a person with a life but I dont understand why when I see her the very first thoughts in my head are angry ones. They say 'I never want to talk to you again' and 'I hate you.' Its almost like I take as a personal stab to my emotions. I dont understand why it makes me think such angry things towards her. I feel like she just doesnt care and I dont want to see her. To make it more intense...when my coworker and I were walking up the street to our cars, there is my T walking down the same street in our direction!! She saw me from way ahead but immediately I said to my friend, wanna cross the street now?' and we did. I guess my T knows I was bolting to avoid her. This will teach me not to go to lunch that close to her office.

I think the whole T thing is weird and twisted, I don't get it.
Its a bizzare relationship.
Sigh.
Mines going away for two weeks.

me too! Once on my way to an appointment I was waiting at a stoplight and looked in my mirrors, and she was in the car behind me.. on the way to the office too. She followed me all the way there (3-4 miles?) and I was shaking the entire time. Did she realize I was there? Was she thinking I was a bad driver? It really freaked me out to see her outside the office. I can sort of relate to how you felt.. I didnt feel angry, but did feel sort of betrayed.. as if shes not who I picture her to be anymore if shes outside the office. When I see her as a "real person" I have to admit that she has real feelings, reactions, etc too. It's weird the roles we put them into sometimes.

I nearly had kittens when I found out how close my therapist used to live to me.
I knew we frequented the same drug store and later found out he had switched to my supermarket. Ick. I don't want to know what the man buys in either.
I don't even like being in teh same elevator with him if we happen to arrive at the same time.
Our relationship belongs in those four walls. It doesn't matter which four walls, but definitely four walls. I don't want it to even touch any other part of my life. It works when it's separate and apart and almost sacred.
So I definitely understand.
