I've started my final year of uni recently and have started a new job at the same time, it's been really stressful especially with other personal things going on too - despite all this I've been managing all my assignments and work really well.
I had a meeting with my personal tutor about my dissertation, this was the second meeting and in my first meeting I did mention I was kinda unwell. I was a bit confused though because he kept asking probing questions about my wellbeing without being too direct - and when I made a joke about the bad weather he told me to 'try stay positive, we'll get through this.' We were later talking about an issue with the dissertation and I misunderstood something and called myself silly at the funny mistake I'd made but even then he started really defending me and saying it was okay even after I brushed off the mistake.
What really got to me was at the end of the meeting when he said;
'I hope you feel better soon... you should go outside more'
I don't know if it was the stress of everything, but those words just broke me and I ended up in tears. Luckily the meeting was online and my camera was off but I really had to strain myself and quietly responded with 'I'll be fine'.
I'm really confused as to why he said that and whilst I appreciate the concern(?) now I feel awkward for the next meeting, even though nothing wrong was said from either of us.
