My therapy appointment was cancelled today which sucks. I was looking forward to it and I feel really down about it. I really enjoy being there I feel safe and I'm not always sad there like I am at home. I'm trying to get better but its always a new problem or a recurring one. Yesterday I got into an argue with a person who is friends with one my friends, it was online but it got to a point where he threatened to fight me, I don't think I'm scared I've fought before a few times when I was younger so I can defend myself but I hate that I let the issue bother me so much. Any advice on how I should handle it or how I can ignore thinking about it?

Appointment cancelled
It's ok to ' walk away'.
It's ok to let the other person have the last word, even if they are in the wrong.
What if they make it out like I'm scared?
Would that matter?
It takes courage to walk away. Yes, critics would say cowardice.
Why would you want to fight?
Isn't there enough hurt, tragedy, sadness and stupidity in the world?
There is so much suffering out there. Isn't it better to fight bad with good?
Look for the good in others?
If someone makes out you are scared, are they worthy of your time?
Better things to spend your time and energy on.
Sorry your appointment was cancelled.
I’m so sorry your session was cancelled. It is hard when that happens. I always think of my therapy sessions as “you can make it until then” weekly checkpoints. When they are cancelled, it is harder to hold on, because my marker is gone. I hope you are able to reschedule soon.
I rescheduled for next week but that's exactly how I feel. I even go twice a week, my next is next Wednesday. So I have to wait awhile.
I totally understand. I often feel lost without my “hold on until” marker. Are there things that make you feel better that you could increase until next week? Or, try to be more gentle and patient with yourself until your next appointment. You can hold on, I promise. I know you can.
No I dont have anything I enjoy that I could increase. I'll try to stay calm and make to next week but sometimes it's very difficult.
It’s ok if you need to sleep more, hide a little bit...just take care of yourself and tell yourself that help IS coming.
That's the thing I have insomnia so I struggle to sleep. I hide in my room but it's also where I feel miserable.
How do you feel about eating? Do you have a favourite meal you could treat yourself to? You deserve it.
If you try eating something before bedtime, it might help with sleeping. Or try a glass of milk, cold or hot. But should be two hours before going to bed if there are any digestive issues.
Other 'helps' for insomnia are ;
No computers, phones for the last hour before going to bed.
Listening to soothing music, light classics or something instrumental.
Reading a book in bed.
Sorry I just seen this. I don't have a favorite meal and I hate milk. I try music and complete darkness sometimes but I just can't sleep. I've was just givin new insomnia medicine but it's also not working.
