So about 2 years ago I was hospitalized and after discharge went to an IOP at a community health clinic. There I met my Dr. I liked him from the moment I met him. I stopped going to IOP and left the clinic only for a year or so later my symptoms came back with a vengeance and I wanted to restart on meds so I went back to the same community clinic and was given the same person as my Dr. Again. A few weeks into treatment he told me he was leaving the practice but could not tell me where he's going and that he could be easily searched should I choose to stay as his patient. Needless to say I followed him to his new practice and have been seeing him for over 8 months now regularly.

Now I find that somehow I have possibly fallen in love with him. He's a great Dr. and has now seen me through a hospitalization. I know some places say to tell him but I'm afraid I will be fired as his patient and it's also pretty embarrassing to admit I love a person who I know nothing about. Overall I'm in a good relationship with a husband who loves me and tries to understand my bipolar. I'm also not a very affectionate/loving person in general so I'm just confused as to how this could happen. I just don't know what to do.
