Hi all
After a period of feeling really down and struggling abit I asked my G.P to refer me for some bereavement counselling. I had my first session yesterday morning and have to admit I felt terrible all day, has anyone else experienced this and is it common?
I have to be honest I have felt somewhat better in myself the last few weeks and although still abit up and down I did feel some improvement in my mood and anxiety. However yesterday morning I cried on the way to my appointment just thinking about talking to her, then when I went in the room I cried that much I could hardly speak for about 10 minutes. The lady was lovely I have no complaints about her and I know it is probably a good thing in the long run but I did notice it sort of drew me back into feeling terrible and missing my mum unless this was coincidence and I was going to have a bad day anyway?
My upset seemed to last all day right into last evening, I feel bad as my husband has been so supportive but I never stopped moaning all evening about anything and everything and was so irritable I even found my 3 year old hard work aswell. I then stuffed my face with food when I have been dieting and doing so well so that made me feel even more fed up! Incidently I have put 1 and 1/2 stone on in weight some I lost my mum.
Am feeling a little better this morning though, just wondering if anyone else has had similar upset from first counselling session?
Kind regards
Louise
