I guess your reality's going to be like an addict... You're going to have to hit rock bottom. And you're nowhere near that yet.
My therapist actually said dating is like an addiction for me to the point that she made to create a safety plan

Do you have any hobbies? (Besides dating) Especially any that will have you interacting with other people? What are you passionate about (besides marrying a man whose job may take him away from you for long periods of time)?

Try this exercise: as hard as it is, find three good things about EVERY day and write them down. It may take time but it really does make a difference to focus on the positive.

So let me ask you this: if you are having such a hard time now, how are you going to handle it if you are dating/married to a military man and he's deployed to somewhere where you have very little to no contact with him for weeks or even months on end? Quite frankly, I don't think you have a full grasp of what being involved with someone in the military is going to be like.

Most of the time you create a safety plan with clients who self harm or addicts or suicidal tendencies and basically it is a list of coping skills to try before cutting or using, who you can call in your support system and then emergency numbers

So you see the seriousness of this then? How your therapist views your problem?

A GRATITUDE JOURNAL! That's smart.
I mean I love music and singing but I'm not super good and I'm embarrassed and so yeah, I like to play the sims which is loserish lol and won't meet guys, I watch sports but I only started doing that to meet guys, I like wine and cooking kind of.

I feel like if I'm committed to them and vice versa it's ok like with this guy I am worried because I know he can't commit to me the first meeting and he's away for 2 years (not deployed) I need full commitment to know you won't just leave me or find someone new I don't trust anyone

Oh, gosh... you have some serious issues. Maybe you should start to focus on yourself first?
Why introduce all your problems to the military buy, who has enough stress on his own? You want to mess up his life?
You should stop thinking about dating till you get better. Seriously.

Are you cutting or using? do you have a support group? You need help!
