>I felt that if my therapist did not give me the approval that I needed that I couldn't exist. It wasn't so much that I would die (or kill myself) - it was more like I would disappear or disintegrate. I wouldn't "be". I have read that this kind of feeling indicates a lack of "self".
>Talk about striking a chord! The need is so deep within isn't it? What I learned from therapy was 'Yes you exist, yes you matter, yes you feelings matter, no you are not alone in an indifferent dangerous universe'.
And that goes for everybody here!
