Oh you mean how I inferred that you was implying I should seek help for mental illness

Ok mate I'll give you that one

I mean you know walls of texts aren't me

I thought 3 lots was too much so I've passed them to a friend to scrutinise

Sorry if I jumped the gun
I'm a bit sore

Each was in response to your PMs, and one of mine generated two responses.
You want an apology for that?

Yeah? Try being on the receiving end of a series of thinly veiled, public attacks.


Anyway this is seriously off topic - further responses will be removed.
I'd suggest you continue via PM, but...

Anyway, just had another session with my therapist and she's suggested I do future sessions by phone which I'm a bit nervous about. I've got a speech impediment and I'm a bit slow on the uptake verbally.

Glad you found someone to help you Rossall, If speech is an issue, perhaps Teams and teams chat can be an option?
whatever happen, I hope you get to walk a flourishing path.

kind regards,
Kada

Haven't spoken to her for a few days. Next session is 9th July. A bit nervous about it as it will be the first one over the phone.

Oh right, I thought that had happened already

Well it's not too long to wait is it

It's probably normal to feel nervous, especially if you're not used to talking to people

Have continued to have online chat sessions as I have a speech impediment and am not comfortable using the phone. I think the last session was the best yet. I really seem to be connecting emotionally with my therapist.
