I’m sorry. I would not appreciate being called that either. My first therapist said I reminded her of an old fashioned farmers wife. I felt pretty lame after that, and it popped into my head a lot for awhile. Maybe it helped me the smallest bit? Maybe? but not enough to count
Where do they come up with this stuff?
It’s okay to be sad, yes. I agree with you that it is too much for some people to be in a sad way because it interferes with their own ways of feeling and coping.
The first thing a lot people will do is want to cheer a sad person up.
I hope you are getting good service and therapy. They make mistakes like everyone and I’m sorry they were hurtful.
Keep up your good work!
