alot of self doubt @Zoe7 and also trying to deal with the emotions i take up from others. not sure i that makes sense but feelings someones 'hurt' really feels like they st**bed my heart

[Zoe7]

Taking on the feelings of other is not always a bad thing @outlander but when you turn it into a negative for yourself then that is when it becomes problemmatic. You can only really control your own emotions and you need to let others control theirs otherwise you head down a dark road and find it difficulty to drag yourself back towards the light.

yeah thats the hard part @Zoe7 i take it on alot even if i try to deflect it as best i can, i still seem to suck it all in!

[Zoe7]

When you take on everyone else's 'stuff' it doesn't leave room to look after yourself @outlander - there are some things we cannot control and that is something you need to work on recognising - it is not an easy thing to do - can you talk about this with your online counsellor? I know youhave said that you find it hard to find the words sometimes in these sessions - maybe this is something you can talk about with them more indepth. I am happy to talk with you Hon but thinking there may be some things that you can't write here but still really need to talk about.

[Zoe7]

That sounds like a great idea @outlander - it is definitely something that you can talk through with her tomorrow morning. What can we do tonight to help you out?
