Good morning @Spirit_Healer how are you feeling today? How has your conversation been sitting with you?

Hey @Jynx @Ru-bee @tyme @Blackcloud @Oaktree @Shaz51,
It was a much-needed conversation on my part. It gave me closure.
We talked about:
He said he had never heard such frustration from me before. I told him that this was because I had never opened up to this degree with him before. He reflected that he could hear that I was 'hurt'. I should've told him that 'hurt' is an understatement, but I didn't want to guilt-trip him further.
I told him: "I don't know if we can even be friends, you treated me so badly".
At the end, he said "Let's keep this conversation going."
I think he won't be surprised if I don't.
What's the point of so anxiously wanting to hear from me, when he never even initiated any messages mid-week while we were together?

@Spirit_Healer are you tired?
I’d be wreaked after that.

@Spirit_Healer i'm so proud of you for having this convo with him! even though the outcome might not have 100% been what you wanted, the fact that you opened up and stood up for yourself is such a big step. i can imagine its probably frustrating having to negotiate with him as well, i hope you were able to get some self-care in after that call! i agree with @Glisten i'd be pretty exhausted after a convo like that!

@Spirit_Healer well done for being so open with him. I'm glad you were able to get so much out and I hope that it's helped you. I know it may not be the outcome you were after but I hope it's brought you some peace.
I'm so proud of you. Sending you lots of healing love ❤️

Thanks, everyone, @Former-Member @creative_writer @rav3n @Glisten @Jynx @tyme for your support!
Look at this watercolour I painted in Art Group yesterday (02/02/2025) and decided to gift to my psychiatrist when he next sees me. It's called 'Beach in Auckland', based on a photo I took in September, 2023. I also wrote a letter on the back. I hope he appreciates it!
