What about the anxious me?

  Patient: I am a current college student, I fell in love with my teacher in high school, she has a family, the kids are 2 years old at that time, my worry is I keep worrying that she is really in love with me, I ask my close friends privately and they all say she has no feelings for me. My anxiety is that she is in love with me her husband’s family will be angry and her husband will kill me. In fact, I feel she doesn’t love me either, but I keep worrying what if she falls in love with me? I’m afraid I’m anxious . I am an outgoing person, good at communicating. I feel very sunny, but only I know my pain. I asked my best friend and he said she has a family and won’t fall in love with me, even I think so too. I haven’t confessed my love to her, and she sometimes talks about her cute kids in class. But I’m always anxious about what if she falls in love with me. I don’t feel safe.  I worry.  A: You may not really be in love with your teacher, but there is something about her that attracts you.  I wonder what your relationship with your mother is like? Maybe you have an Oedipal complex in your subconscious, and falling in love with your mother may have indirectly attacked your father for fear of punishment, so you are worried that “her husband will kill you”.  You are a young person who has just separated from your family to become independent, which requires a process. When you depend on someone and have to leave her, you may be “insecure”; you need a symbolic companionship in the separation process. It is recommended that you look for classmates in your college life and find someone to fall in love with legitimately among your peers.
