Hello @Cuddlebear, I'm having a hard time at the moment after just chatting to my counsellor. Have a doctors appointment at 12.30 today aswell.
How are you going?

@Dreamy Big hugs for you from me. It can feel unsettling after counselling and I’m sorry you are not feeling well. It shows strength to reach out to counselling. Is the counsellor good?
Im feeling much the same way. I see a new counsellor today and I’m very anxious about it. Not sure if they can provide support. I can’t afford the gap on mental health plan for the psychologist so local health service said they’re not taking new clients but booked me in for 1 appointment.
Im thinking of starting a thread to get some advise from the people on the forums. I’m terrified to do it in case I say the wrong thing. Might try later today. Not sure.

Thankyou @Cuddlebear ❤️. It's been a massive step for me because of past experiences but she seems to be ok. I've only spoken to her twice now.
Oh I really hope they can help, sending hugs to you aswell. I know it's such a big step talking to a new counsellor so I really hope it goes well for you.
Starting a new thread sounds like a good idea and the moderators/peer support workers are always around to help if you need support with it. It's hard to know what to say sometimes and the fear of saying the wrong thing but they will always help if things need to be fixed up or removed etc.

Hello @Bunniekins, weather is a bit all over the place today kind of like me. It's been raining but the sun is trying to shine through occasionally. Hope you have a good day and that you are feeling better ❤️
