I don't think you're stupid. I think it's normal not to want to be alone, and if that means to continue with your therapist, then so be it. Good Luck & Hugs

I get it hun! The one person that really understands totally may not be in your life if you get better. Talk to your therapist about it. He/she will understand that too and help you during your transition.

You are not stupid at all sweetie. It is absolutely normal to feel close to your therapist especially if she has helped you. If she is a good therapist she will take you through a progression of leaving. Heck, I have been in therapy off and on for 34 years. I have been with the therapist I am with now for 10 years and my pdoc for 20 years.

Just work on you and try not to worry about when you have to leave. It will happen naturally and when you are ready. I admire you for working on your issues early in age. It will be so much easier for you as you get older. Hugs
