feel the warmth @Former-Member your community are rallying around you 

Be kind and gentle with yourself, all feelings are ok to feel, I know some can be harder to manage than others but allowing and giving oursleves permission to feel all feelings is important too.

thanks guys

how long did it take for you to see some progress with your sessions?

i feel like crap everytime i come out of there and today was made worse becasue she embarrassed me- unintentionally but now i feel really awkward around her and that was pretty much most of the session.

maybe i should just get over it and quit 😞

@Former-Member so very true I must remember this when worked up I have had a better week

[Pepsimax]

@Former-Member talk about what embarrassed you or talk about anything you like I'm here all day my support worker isn't coming now she has an extra meeting on as they were sent home yesterday as we had rain bucketing down so they have the meeting today

[Former-Member]

We were in the seasions and talking about aome things and when i get embarrassed or other feelings i tend to smile rather than cry. I dont know why that is but she pointed it out and now i feel awkward about it @Pepsimax@Former-Member@utopia@Faith-and-Hope

[Former-Member]

I really am such a freak and a screwup

Heya @Former-Member,

Just saw this. Good on you for getting to your session today. Therapy is not easy - working through our own messy stuff is complicated and hard, and it can stir up a lot of emotions.

Therapy can help us to become more aware of our behaviours, and I think embarrassment stems from being self-conscious of behaviours that we don't want attention drawn too. When someone points something out with me, I find it really hard to not focus on it, so I can see how this could interfere with your session.

If this incident goes on to create a barrier in therapy, perhaps you could bring it up, and let her know that you feel really self-conscious about it now?

@Former-Member when I was seeing my psychologist I did exactly the same she called it a nervous response don't worry about that

[Former-Member]

If i bring it up with her shes going to think im even more of a freak @CherryBomb
Im already messed up as it is. A new motto that im using at the moment is 'do it because the paper tells me to' how stupid does that sound. Im taking orders from paper now. I really am such a screw up and a freak and i hate it.


At least it was your nerves and your therapist told you that @Pepsimax mine just blurted out why are you smiling when we are talking about depression
