1. I feel awful today.
"Why, what happened since I saw you last? Let's talk about it."

2. I'm afraid you don't like me.
"That's normal to feel that way in your situation. Many people who are dealing with the types of situations you are experiencing often express similar thoughts. It's very common that when someone is feeling depressed or anxious to think that other people are judging them. This is a type of distorted thinking called a "cognitive distortion" that is common in anxiety and depressive disorders.

I can certainly understand why you might feel that I don't like you, but that's just the depression/anxiety talking. I really do like you, and I think you are intelligent and have quite a lot to say that is worth listening to."

3. I don't feel like being here today.
----"Did you have a difficult last few days since our last appointment? What's happened lately?"
