Hi Wishfulthinker, thanks for your post. I think that's the trouble. ...at the moment I'm not quite sure where to attend if I don't go there. I think I've decided to withdraw a bit and have actually seen a mental health based course which I'd like to attend so I've signed up for a trial session. I think what I'm struggling with is what feels like control but it wasn't happening so much initially., its just as what I thought was friendship developed into more of someone attempting to mentor me but we don't have the same interests and I feel she's trying to steer me.
Sorry, I'm probably repeating myself. I think she can be nice to have as a more distant friend but not this close. I just didn't realise how opening up to her could become such a problem. A couple of times when I've been with people she's started to question me about things I thought I'd shared in confidence so Ive obviously made a mistake trusting but my guard was down.

Edit: I know I've got to either talk to this person directly but I just haven't wanted to as I feel out of my depth. Either that or I ought to accept that I may need to leave.
