Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame
@TheVorticon I have agoraphobia and anxiety and I am going to see
a psych in a few weeks. Not sure how it will help ...I can't visualise how things
could get better ...I am not able to cope by myself at the moment and haven't been for quite a long time

Re: Attachment weirdness, neediness, shame
I'm glad to hear that you're going to be getting some help with your anxiety and agoraphobia. It does sound like it's been hard for you and hopefully your new psych will be able to help you find some hope about things getting better.

1st appt
@TheVorticon I went for my first appointment on Saturday....there was all day parking in the side street across the road so that was good.....
location good not too far from home ....
the psych asked me about my history so I went through work history and how anxiety affected me....I hope I will get better ...I have another appointment in 2 weeks and I am covered by Medicare mental health plan which is good

Re: 1st appt
First sessions can be a bit draining going through the history of everything but yeah hopefully you'll be able to start making some progress and getting better soon 🙂

Re: 1st appt
I had a really annoying customer the other day....
I wish she didn't go through me ...
She can't let go of the past and it was very very annoying the way she spoke to me
and the manager and someone else was at the counter being irritating and talking to her....I am not sure why they want to talk to her but I couldn't do anything about it
If a mistake was made in the past why can't she let it go?

Re: 1st appt
I think she knows how she 'comes across'. It happened again today-
this time there was no interference from other people ...
She asked me if I knew how to do it and
I put it through for her - she may have noticed that I was irritated with her as I told her
I knew how to do it - not sure how irritated I looked but I felt that way ...
then she said she would be back in a few minutes with another one - you can imagine how pleased I was to hear that - anyway the manager did the 2nd
one when she got back
If she doesn't realise how she 'comes across' that is very disturbing for someone
of her age - probably mid 40s or something like that and been a customer
for many years - not to realise that what you say and how you say it has an impact
on others it doesn't take much intelligence
But what can I do? that's retail

Re: 1st appt
@jamesle2015 I guess I wasn't meaning lacking intelligence, but lacking awareness due to other things going on in her mind. It certainly doesn't stop the behaviour from being annoying though. Are there other repeat customers that you get along better with?

Re: 1st appt
Yes I get along well with 'repeat' customers who act 'normally'.
I like customers that aren't condescending.

Re: 1st appt
I guess all you can do is try and look for ways to enhance the good parts, even with the annoying customers if you can.
