I dont understand my head

Hi, i have a family relative wanting to stay Wed-Sat this week. I have a very private phone meeting on thursday so i asked her to come after the appointment. She offered to disappear for when the phone call was going to happen but i wasnt happy with that and i was having a panic attack because of this. I told her i wasnt in a good head space and could only cope with 2 days. Now she is looking for somewhere to crash on the Wed night. My anxiety eased a little but now im finding myself feeling guilty as i upset her plans and guilty for speaking my truth. Like i maybe shouldnt have said anythjng. I hate it when people just think they can lob on you. The relative is no trouble just that im a liner and cant do 3 days visit. 2 days is too ling! Why do i feel guilty?? I simply just didnt want to be imposed on. Why do i go into panic mode??

Hello Blondyroses, you need to remember it's your house and should do whatever suits you.

This family member is taking advantage of your situation and although you have this phone coming there isn't any reason why she won't be asking you questions.

Don't feel guilty as I've said it's your place.
