I wish *I* could hug you right now, if that's OK to say. Therapy hugs can be complicated, depending on the situation. I am so very impressed that you have asked for one and my immediate hit from your post is that it seems like just the right thing for you. I *sure* hope it helps. I don't think anything you have said is cheesy. I *totally* believe everyone needs hugs (non-sexual) and I also believe sexual contact is important. Your post made me really want these things for you. And I'm so sorry to hear about your struggle with depression. Please remember that parents and coworkers won't often understand and that can make you feel worse. Post here as often as you like about what you are going through. I'm glad you have your T and I hope that you are able pursue other significant relationships in your life - so much easier said than done.
I don't really feel like I'm saying much that will help, but just know people are listening to you.
