Wow, Pat. I appreciate your comments so much. Thank you! I feel better. It totally makes sense to me when you say things didn't go according to "her plan." That just resonates with me as being true. It's such a sticky situation. I sensed boundary issues with her and I wish I had had the strength to distance myself from her a bit. I also confided in her a lot of sensitive information about myself which I now regret doing. Like I said, when I went into this crisis I needed her support. But now I have been distancing myself from her a lot more. As for dx'ing me, yep, I was annoyed; she seems to be a wanna-be therapist. At the same time, she's not taking responsibility for her role in the conflict.
Another issue I need to contend with is that I'm signed up for a class she's teaching at the beginning of this month. I agreed to take another lady to the class who cannot drive; otherwise I would just not go to the class. I doubt anyone else will be available to take this lady because I live close to her, and it would probably be out of the way for others. Not sure what to do about that.
On a better note, I've started my outpatient treatment program for depression/grief. Being there is giving me a sense of hope.Pat, how are you doing after the passing of your dog? I'm so sorry for that loss. I'm sure you're experiencing a great deal of grief.
