@Former-Member @rav3n today I had my arts therapy session appointment so I decided to get my support worker to come with me to the appointment, but when that happened everything went completely awkward and it felt completely daunting and quite intimidating for me lol - so towards the end of the session, I knew that coming to the session and being there only by myself without having someone else with me would be much better for me than if it was more than just myself and the arts therapist. Also when she (the arts therapist) asked me during the session how I’m finding the session with my support worker at present or if I’m ok with having them here (while my support worker is also there o_o) I felt like the need to lie and say that I’m okay and that I’m all good - when it reality I actually wasnt xD so, yeah it wasn’t that great of an experience today but oh well, hopefully the next time I go there and have just myself to attend the session, then it’d be much better than if there was a third person and so fourth.
i felt like when I was answering the questions that the arts therapist was asking me, I couldn’t really answer them properly because of the third person (my support worker) that was present.
Gosh, I should’ve asked her if she can stay in her car and just wait for me instead of getting her to come to the session with me 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 because she did asked me before we both were about to head in if I would like her to just sit in her car to wait for me lol
i even went to bed at 4pm this afternoon and woke up at 7:55pm this evening haha I feel like it tends to happen whenever I’m going out somewhere with someone and the experience doesn’t turn out to be the way I expect it to be, which I guess that would be why..?
also, the support worker that I had today was a bit younger than me so that makes it even more awkward lmao than if it was someone that’s a bit older
