So I started going to my social worker in april. She's a young beautiful woman. It didnt take long before I felt in love with here. I've been hiding my feelings. But I talked to my psycologist about it. At least I want a friendship with this girl, and asked what my psycologist thought about sending her a friend request on Facebook. My psycologist did not recommend it. She said she had gotten friend request from patients, and they normally don't accept.
I just feel so lonely and have no friends. My life really sucks. My social worker say all this nice things to me, and I just want to be friends with here.
So I did it. I sendt her a friend request on facebook. I have no idea what will happen now. Maybe she get's angry at me, for looking her up on facebook. I don't know. I probaly can never go to her again, if she does not accept.

It sounds like erotic transference. I think that's normal in therapy. But you said you were seeing both a social worker and a psychologist? In psychotherapy, that's usually considered normal, and I don't think it's a reason to stop seeing her, even if she does not accept. (I would not expect her to accept, frankly.)
 
I think the worst thing you can do is make a big deal out of it either way. You sent the request, just leave it at that. No need to follow up from there, and no need to worry about it. Actually, try to forget it even happened. Even if she declines, it's just a friendly gesture, probably wouldn't creep her out or anything.

It really doesn't need to be a big deal. Two things could happen: either you added her, or you didn't. In both cases, you'd have to deal with the consequences: if you added her, you'd have to deal with her not accepting your request (because she didn't see it, or didn't feel comfortable enough to accept, whatever), or with what you'd do after that. Would you truly be able to develop a friendship with her if you fell in love with her just because she gave you attention? It wouldn't be a good idea unless you weren't so insecure.

You need to simplify things as much as you can. First of all, you need to realize that you're not in love with her, you're just attracted to her. If you truly are in love with her (which I doubt), what are you going to do about that? Are you going to tell her and probably ruin any possible friendship you could share, or keep it to yourself and maybe creep her out in the process? Acknowledge that you're attracted to her because she's beautiful, and let it be what it is. That way, you can appreciate her beauty a whole lot more, and at the same time work on improving your life to a point where you'd be confident and making progress on every relevant area.

wtf this is seriously like the tenth story like this I've seen on these forums... I need to start seeing hot and sexy therapists, IDGAMF.

seriously though, don't try to hit on her or anything. keep it 100% professional. if it's too difficult to go see her then stop seeing her.

Therapists listen because it's their job.
Would you want to be at work all the time?

I can guarantee that you don't know her like you think you do.
 
i once had a crush on a psychtriatist, i know how you feel man, but it's against the law for her to do something with it. whether she likes you or not. im sorry to hear you have no friends, hopefully you can make some. maybe you should ask your social worker to go out and make friends! ;)
