That's good to hear @Former-Member 

I am happy they are safe. I'm also pleased you have been able to meet people who respect you even with the limitations of being able to see each other face to face. 

I hope that friend is okay safety-wise. It seems like a big jump from a new friend to safety issues, or maybe I have that wrong. 

It's okay. I understand you were busy, and that person's safety is far more important. 

Yeah, it was good, thank you.

What happened was I was getting quite distressed about it all, and I was on the brink of tears. He just said to breathe, and I think I stretched my arms out on my own, and then we did the five senses, and I was semi-okay. I'm unsure if it's a good or bad thing. Maybe it was so I could see I could ground myself when distressed. However, being a psych, you'd think he would welcome crying. I hope that explains what happened a bit better. 

I did wonder that I'm like, I don't really care how often other people go. 

Yeah, I think he would just fit me in after his last client, as he finishes at 2:45 or maybe 4:00 some days. See, this just seems silly, not you. The circumstances, like two days, don't give me much time to know how I'll be. 

It's so hard @Former-Member. I don't like abandonment or change.  

"However the strategies in place to support can be helpful, too 🙂🌺" I don't really have many things that can help with feeling lonely. Connection is the main one, as then I'm not alone. 

I feel like I should send him an email.
