Yep, it happened alright. All two hours of it, it really was uncomfortable and counter productive really. Id never met the health worker before so to have two students gawping at me and listening to my woes and worries kind of put me off... Ive been put forward for Intensive Individual CBT, which sounds pretty daunting if that assessment was anything to go by
They want to know about my feelings, fuck off, they're mine![]()
I wouldn't worry too much. It's not unusual to be intensely grilled to begin with. Intensive Individual CBT does indeed sound daunting, but I'll bet it's not half as scary as it sounds. Well done.

And yeah, I still hate being asked about my (real, non-disordered) feelings. I can talk about really embarrassing obsessions and crushes, but not my true feelings.
The other day I got asked "What do you enjoy? Are there things that give you pleasure?" and I just looked sheepishly at the floor, mumbling "Y'know, normal stuff". :D
