    From what you say - I think you are well on your way hun- you have a spiritual 'awareness' and that can help and sustain you. but, it isn't a 'magic pill'. you WILL have times when you feel one person isn't what you thought they were or letting you down - its then that you need to be able to step aside in your mind and 'analyse' YOUR reaction.

    Totally agree, sometimes I analyse peoples reactions and if I don't feel it is the reaction I wanted I will get it all dejected, even though my rational side says that I am in the wrong and that they haven't done anything wrong. I guess my emotions are more intense than others and I expect them to be the same, it is so frustrating, makes me feel so needy, I then worry they will think badly of me, and I hate that.

    Cbt might help. Even some Cbt books if you can't access counselling quickly.
