I can relate exactly to that, to having hope for the future and jumping ahead to how things might look. It's a bit of a trap isn't it? And then if things don't keep moving in the right direction then you feel much more upset because your hopes are up. And then sometimes you undo your good work in making you both feel safe by asking for too much too soon. This has been my story so far. Sigh. It's so very hard not to have expectations though: us humans are behaviour prediction machines.
I don't know what to advise, because I'm stuck in this place right now myself. If you find out, let me know lol. Maybe it's something I will discuss with my IC later.
