Apparently when I said that yeah I did want a relationship in the near future and am happy with how things are going because it's not too serious yet, that somehow translated into I was leading her on for sex and now don't like her. Just stupid I don't understand. I have done the best I can.

i am physically tired too, I haven't been sleeping very well lately.

I want to just let it go with my dad but part of me wants him in my life but I know what I want will never happen. He said that already he said he wants nothing to do with me.

OK, the girl sounds like she does want a relationship but has misunderstood what you meant. She has probably taken it as you saying you still want to play the field. It is silly, she has taken it to the extreme opposite of what you were saying. Leave it a few days and then see what happens, if you want to contact her maybe she will have calmed down by then.

Work will sort itself out. If you are not sleeping well it doesn't help. Are you taking your meds still? Have you tried smiling mind at night maybe and herbal tea?

Your dad is a tough one. As an outsider it is easy to say let it go but I can't take away the fact he is your dad and you hope for some sort of relationship. I guess you need to ask why you want him in your life still? What are you hoping to achieve by having him here? You don't have to answer that, they are just food for thought. Maybe your psych is the best one to talk to about that.

We have known each other for quite a while, as friends, and I feel like she wouldn't be like this if our friends weren't involved, they are having a big influence, without them this might be a non issue.

Still taking meds but I kind of hate them.

hmm I know what I want from dad isn't going to happen, and I will be let down again, it's like heis my dad

Gee, these friends need to back off. Seriously. What are they trying to do by getting involved? Give it some space, let things cool off a bit and take it from there. Have of had a word with these friends?

yeah, he is your dad. Unfortunately I think it's clear that he will jnot st keep manipulating you. I hate saying that, I really do.

I think they just want to be a part of it and thrive on drama, which pisses me off because that stuff they said isn't true.

Yeah I spoke to mum about Dad, she kind of got annoyed at me I think.

i seem to be the bad guy at the moment

That's weird. I'm sure I replied.

we're all good friends but I guess like any bunch of friends we have our moments, I just feel like in this case they've really thrived on the drama, which is a shame because I'm not like that and what's being said about me isn't true, somebody has heard something and made it into something bigger than it should be and now this.

Yeah I went to see Mum after work. To talk about some stuff with Dad. She was kind of annoyed at me, I can see why. I wish I didn't let him get to me so much.

Hopefully the friends/girl stuff will sort itself out. Maybe she will realise she should get to know you rather than listen to what others say.

Your dad gets to you because you are senditive and having anxiety makes us even more sensitive. You can't help it, but he should know better.

That's what Mum said, sometimes I'm just too nice

I haven't been to work the past two days. My anxiety is the worst I think it has ever been. Been going around half way to work then turning around and going home. It's so annoying and embarrassing to have to call work and say sorry I know I start in 5 mins but I'm not coming, and things are things are just not good for me right now. Haven't talked to anyone yet

Hi Jackson, sorry to hear you've hit a bit of a snag.

Are you able to pinpoint what may have caused this latest trigger to worsening anxiety? For example: Is it additional pressure from work with the new managerial responsibilities? Is it to do with difficulties with your girlfriend, housemates, friends? Problems with your Dad?

If you are able to identify why you've suddenly gone backwards, you may be able to work your way through it. Or at least be better able to avoid this happening again next time. We live ... we learn.
