Anita,

I feel like it is very easy to slip and go back to unhealthy behaviors.  I had IM (instant messenger) conversations with the new guy, K., Friday and Monday. Yesterday I did not speak with him and up until this morning I was overthinking/worrying does he like me.  My friend intervened before I did something desperate like reach out and give him my number.  I’m embarrassed and frustrated with myself.  I feel overwhelmed in how to change the way I think.  I have this constant need for reassurance and it makes me feel pathetic.

I think about companionship too much because I feel very lonely.
