Discussion & help on depression & mental health related issues

I really don't understand people. I always try to treat people well even when I'm suffering inside. I always give people time if they want to talk to me and I'm always polite. Yet some people will stI'll be negative towards me. I always end up feeling bad about myself even when rationally I know I've done nothing wrong. The slightest bit of negativity from anyone at the moment is causing an anxiety attack and then I suffer for the rest of the day.

Sorry if this has been a rant. I really needed to vent.

When it boils down to it mate, most people are only interested in what matters in their own lives.

They may pay lip service to you, but really they're not arsed in the slightest with your other people's problems.

It doesn't make them all bad people, it's just the way things are.

The old saying " you find out who your friends are " really is true.

Try not to worry too much about others mate x

I know you're right mate and I agree. I also don't blame anyone for only caring about their own issues. I'm not even angry or upset with the people who are negative towards me. I just can't resolve the feelings it causes in myself. A horrible feeling of guilt even though I know I did nothing wrong.

It just makes me feel horrible inside when someone is even a little bit sharp with me.
My counselling starts this afternoon. I'm not expecting them to work miracles but I'm certainly hoping they will help me with some of these feelings.

Thanks as always mate.

Just got back from my first session. I really like my counsellor. They are exactly what I was looking for. The first session was just to establish my issues to decide if we would work well together.

Her approach is going to be to examine my feelings, reflecting on past experiences. She also suggested helping me become more assertive but we both agreed I'm not ready for that bit yet.

She also said she would never suggest I did something I'm not comfortable with. That was one of my worries that I'd be expected to go into situations that trigger my anxiety.

Sadly you will always come across self entitled nobheads. Try not to let them get to you. x

That's excellent mate.

Cross one more worry off your list.

Feeling comfortable and confident with your councillor is exactiy how it should be.

Onwards and upwards ;)
