My therapist kept looking at me this whole time. I feel so uncomfortable.

I’m a 16 year old girl and I just got a new male therapist this morning. I’ve had him for like two months and have only seen him like three times. I guess what I’m saying is that he doesn’t know me well yet. I have autism. <br><br>Today I kept getting up and walking around the room. I couldn’t sit down. I had a lot of anxiety in the morning and it was a bad day. He repeatedly asked me to sit down and kept looking at the clock, even though we had already done the talking for the day and we were just playing a game. I was playing the game, I was sitting at the table, I just kept getting up to walk around the table. I felt so distracted. He said that it was distracting him from what he was doing. <br><br>I kept looking back at him and he kept looking at me. I’m a very overweight girl and I often get stared at for that. This felt worse, though. I felt like I couldn’t move at all. I felt so uncomfortable. I felt like I was doing something wrong. I didn’t know what else to do. I was just trying to regulate my anxiety. <br><br>I walked back to my dad’s car after the session and I felt so anxious and I just wanted to go home. I didn’t want to go to my next therapy appointment. I just wanted to sit in silence. <br><br>He’s a nice man, I know he didn’t mean to. I just feel uncomfortable.
