...See more I have a lot of body image/eating issues that kind of come in waves of intensity, for lack of a better word. For various reasons, I'm going through a bit of a difficult spot right now. I work in theater, which of course is an industry where looks do count. I have a coworker who constantly makes comments about other actors' bodies. Most of the comments seem innocent enough but it still bothers me. Does anyone have advice on how I can address this issue, either ways I can ask my coworker to stop or I personally can cope better? I'm trying to stay away from words like "triggered" as this particular person doesn't take those types of terms seriously.

...See more Recently I've been having trouble with anxiety and depression and am finally going to make an appointment to see a therapist. But I realized today that I'm not going to be able to avoid talking about this really complicated relationship that has caused me a lot of emotional turmoil (there are things that happen that give me flashbacks that often lead to me just crying inconsolably, etc.). I'm embarrassed by the amount of sadness and anxiety I allowed myself to go through for this relationship and don't want to try to explain to someone why I made the terrible decisions I did. Also, I don't want it to turn into me blaming my problems on my ex, something he did constantly about a previous girlfriend. Does anyone have any tips on how to bring this up with a therapist?
