kat, I have so been where you are, I can so absolutely appreciate what you're feeling. I had sort of a regular cycle there for 6 months or so where I'd misinterpret, over-react, or just catastrophize myself into a completely insecure "I can't do this anymore!!" crisis. incredibly painful...but a learning experience. fortunately the recipient of my drama is an incredibly patient and understanding man...and we laugh about it now; hasn't happened since--oh, early January maybe? or late November? for me it was a lot of things triggering my major abandonment issues; what seems to have stopped the cycling is just a better understanding of myself, my needs, and accepting that it's okay to even HAVE needs. and there were some distinctly hormonal influences at time.
