Saw Oya yesterday.  I felt relieved after talking to her, as she understood how I felt after my issues at the hospital, and said that my feelings were valid.  She said it's like I've been re-traumatised because of how I was treated.  Like, although the circumstances weren't the same, the feelings it brought up are similar, so it's triggered some flashbacks and intrusive thoughts.

I feel let down by myself that not being able to speak out in the hospital has lead to a set back.  Sleeping is an issue again, and I just feel vulnerable and anxious.

The difference is, she said, we're going to work through the feelings it's brought up now, and not ignore them, or brush them away, or bury them.  That's got to be a positive, right??
