WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 10

[MrBond]

I think the thing is that you have to break out of the friend mode. You start showing her confidence and it'll attract her back. Right now you said that she was "worried" that you might slip into depression. HELLO?! You've outgrown that right?

From what you've learned here and in DR, there should be nothing that you should be depressed about. You are happy in your abilities and confident in yourself and your efforts.

I think you're definitely still giving off that needy vibe. She's already friendly with you, now's the time to show off your confident side especially in the face of the layoff. You don't want her to feel sorry for you or worried about you. You are the one who is going to survive because you've been to hell and back. Show her that side when you meet her face to face, but GAL to build yourself back up.

You may not realize it, but maybe when you leave, you have a hang dog expression on your face that she catches. Change that asap. Put on your warrior face and show that you can do what it takes to get the job done because you've got the tools and talent to do so.
