> keep in mind sometimes people don't know what to say, they're scared of strong emotions, they might be trying to be helpful, I don't know, I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt, but yes if someone I didn't know said that to me my tendency also might be to take offense/get angry.

> That doesn't mean it's warranted by the way, but I can understand the sensitivity. You are far more than a "therapy patient" and maybe that's where the implication rubs the wrong way - no offense intended of course I've had a lot of therapy, but not everyone understands it - people are limited in their understanding so I'm a bit protective about itBut to most people I am not a "therapy patient" because no one currently knows that Im in therapy, which made it hurt that much more, I felt like saying...well, ill let my T know you think that! Ive never realized my distress was so apparent before :(

> Anyway.......what's going on?I don't know, life is sh*t right now. I hate myself, I hate everything about me, I feel overly sensitive to everything, I feel stupid, I feel overall like I am suffocating.
It seems to be getting worse and when Im alone, Im miserable. I need to be with people, but I hate getting up lately.
I don't usually have these feelings, I have bad days, but not on and off like this and so intense. Or maybe I do, and Im all screwed up.
