Thank you for your messages. I realize I am a happier person not having certian "friends" in my life. Anxiety is horrible and I cannot wait to feel more normal when this passes. There will always be anxiety hidding in a corner somewhere for me but hopefully with a new counselor, I can get through it. I am going to make an appointment with someone else on Monday. I hate the idea of telling yet another counselor about my lifelong problems, fears, anxieties, ect.
You are right in the fact that I am a people pleaser - so I have problems doing what is right for me. I need to take some action in that department. Ending the friendship was the best thing for me but really hard to do. The woman that I was friends with (3years) was very controlling. She admitted being jelous over me having more than her for a friend. And after I broke off the friendship, she told all of our mutual friends that I was having a breakdown and never to call me again. I can deal with the talking behind my back but my real irrational fear is running into her in public or at our childrens school. I just cannot get past this. The counselor that I was seeing actually said that I should consider moving out of the school distric so I would not have to see her!!!
We live in the same community and I know that our paths will cross and I just don't know how to handel it. thanks for listening - this has been very helpful.

Starting over with a new therapist is so hard.
