I'm confused, and I don't know what to do... Can you help please?!
Question: I'm confused, and I don't know what to do... Can you help please.?
I'm a 21 year old college student; who has had a difficult past. I was sexually abused for two years as a young child; I was raped as a teenager; and I'm addicted to cutting. I can easily say that I haven't had an easy life so far; I've dealt with a lot and I had to deal with everything on my own because no one has ever been there for me. Within the last year I started talking to one of my teachers (college) and she's really helped me. She continuously reassures me that I'm welcome to talk to her whenever I need someone; but as much as I would like to talk to her more often sometimes I feel guilty that I'm taking up too much of her time. *Am I wrong to feel guilty.?* Another issue I'm having is that I really trust her and feel close to her when we are together, but should there still be a limit to our relationship.? *Is there a specific point at which our relationship is no longer student/teacher or just when we feel it is no longer a student/teacher relationship.?* Furthermore, is there any hope of having a more "friend/casual" relationship with her in the future.?
Any suggestions, comments or advice would be greatly appreciated :)
*For the record, I'd like to mention that I'm seeing a counselor, psychologist and 2 psychiatrists in order to help me deal with the more profound issues I have; but speaking to her in and of itself helps me more than they do*Health Question & Answer

I think you've reached an attraction level with her. I'd tell her how your feeling towards her. In the event she isn't feeling the same, it'll be easier on you. As far as feelings are concerned. You don't wanna get hurt right.Health Question & Answer

You have no right to feel guilty, It's a good thing that you can tell someone about your......"difficult past"
*Is there a specific point at which our relationship is no longer student/teacher or just when we feel it is no longer a student/teacher relationship.?*
OK.... now by "when WE feel it is no longer a student/teacher relationship.?* now by "we" you must mean both of you and if BOTH of you want to be more than Friends, I don't see a single problem with it.
*Is there any hope of having a more "friend/casual" relationship with her in the future.?*
"friend/casual relationship"...........
Do you mean a more than friend or a more than causal relationship.?
