I am really not sure what to say because I can't find the words to express how or what I actually feeling & thinking. I was feeling not so bad up until recently. I just think no one will understand. I think I need some extra support this weekend

Thanks for your message @Faith-and-Hope. I was just trying to manage my feelings before and that is why I didn't write too much in my inital post if that makes sense. Just talking about some issues with my therapist and she responded with this- what did I want from her etc- We where discussing a person I meet in primary school and she bullied me and more recently personally attacked. So from her comments I felt quite hurt and fragile. It might be just poor phrasing of words but it did hurt me and make me feel as though I don't matter and that I am unworthy.
I had urgents bloods last wk and there are some issues but nothing I don't think I can't manage- I need to be more proactive and take some better care of me. I am just waiting to hear back from specialist about adding a new medication. Thanks for listening.

I actually feel quite silly about writing that it is probably not important. I just feel really anxious about opening up, I am getting better though. Thanks for your patience,kindness,guidance and friendship @Faith-and-Hope I really appreciate you..

I needed someone elses take on it, it did leave me quite rattled too and I deflected her from that point @Faith-and-Hope. The feeling has been with me on and off from last wk. I am feeling better after my gym session. I just need to put one foot in front of the other.

I am trying and I think I am using those hurt feelings to distance myself from this person but also to take the necessary action to do something positive for me @Faith-and-Hope

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I'm doing a bit better tonight. Am a bit unsure what to do.
