... and I'm scared/nervous.
This is through my local branch of Mind.
Befriending info.
I had a befriender, for 9 months. Then she just disappeared with no notice and no warning. That upset me somewhat.
So now I will be getting a new befriender. And the meeting is tomorrow.
I want someone who will be reliable. And empathic. And honest. And not someone who is overweight and on diets and conscious of her weight, not when I am a recovering borderline-anorexic who needs to eat. It did make shopping and eating out together awkward. And there were a number of times when she didn't turn up, and said she'd texted me and she hadn't...
I need some tips please on how to be assertive and ask what I need, things like that.. Thanks..
