A friend of mine is being a bit passive aggressive through text, and I'm not sure how to respond to it

hi.
not feeling to good today
@scarletPear1945 Hello there my wonderful friend. I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well today. I woke up not really feeling that great either and it sucks to say the least! I sure hope you feel better and I want to thank you for sharing with me how you are feeling. It really helps us when we can be open with it and talk about what is bothering us. Have a beautiful night.
@PeppermintStar0912
Thank you very much. I was given an assignment by the therapist to journal my feelings about thoughts during the EMDR which has been very trying to say the least. Seems as if a can of worms were turned loose, leaving me with triggers and nightmares again. I am not sure that was supposed to happen.
@scarletPear1945 Oh you are so very welcome! Journaling your feelings is such a great way to really realize how you are feeling and how much you are actually hurting. For me, I believe that in order for us to start healing, we have to confront our trauma and acknowledge it. We have to bring it out in the open, validate it, and then find positive coping skills to use to help get you through it. That is what I do with my trauma. I have to deal with it in order to move on from it. But that is just me, I'm not saying that everyone should be doing this but this is just what has worked for me. It's called acceptance and comittment therapy. I hope that today is better for you!
1. What kind of day are you having so far?
So far so good!
2. What is your personal weather status (cloudy, foggy, sunny) today?

3. Is there anything bothering you or upsetting you?
Being away from my friends, I miss them a lot.
@Goldcherry2113 Hi there! I am really happy to hear that you are doing well! I love hearing that.
