    Someone said something just yesterday that made me smile. She told me that she liked to see me because I make her laugh and to hear that from someone with depression meant a lot, for that just for moment things didn't seem so bad.

    Went to the the fayre today to attend the work shop run by NHS on stress resilience.

    It was good, I found it helpful. I asked questions at the end and even took a leaflet.

    I've been sitting here in my room with a warm coffee, curtains drawn wide open and listening to Micheal kiwanuka. I've been thinking about all the good times I've had here on the The Mix and how many times I've broken out into fits of laughter or gone to bed smiling because of the people on here. I've thought about friends I've made, the times that I've been frustrated and the times that I've been sad.

    I keep saying that I need to go on a break but I keep coming back because of my friends here and the mods and chat ghost.

    Nawww hrgblgtrleigherl, I only love you guys a tiny teeny minuscule bit, just a bit.

    I feel the same. Since I joined I've had so so many laughs and smiles and good chats I'm so glad I did join!

    I didn't get any sleep last night, and I actually feel good about going to work, I feel energetic/hyperactive, maybe that's because I've hit sleep deprivation point. But I feel good about going to work, I love work, but sometimes, its difficult to get up, dressed and out, but today, I managed it quite easily #RecoveryOnPoint

    Yay pizza Thursday! :yippe::yippe::yippe:
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Quite jealous (even though I had Dominos last night...)! I actually haven't been there in a while - I need to go again and relive the deliciousness. Someone else was singing Franco Manca's praises to me recently too!

    " So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    Yesterday I went for a walk and I bumped into a lady walking her dog so we decided to walk up the hill together and even though she strugled I kept cheering her on. We got talking and she asked if I was also heading towards the tram and I just told her that I was going for a walk because I'd been indoors a bit too much lately. At this point we had reached the top of the hill but she was knackered and kept apologising for stopping. I reassured her a told her that it was absolutely fine, I wasn't there to judge and that she could stay up there if she wanted to. The view was beautiful, the sky was clear and the sun was on it's way to setting.

    At one point she opened up to me a told me about her depression amongst other things. I just listened, offered compassion where it was due and told her a bit about myself. In the end it was time for me to go, I could tell she wasn't one for words and a little withdrawn but without hesitation she hugged and smiled with a look of relief. I think she just needed to be heard and understood. It wasn't a half arsed hug but a proper one and she looked me in the eyes and said thank you and went on her way.

    It felt like in the those few seconds, she felt safe and completely at ease. A stranger that I'd never met before. Maybe yesterday was a hard day, I'll never know but I'm glad I managed to help somehow.

    For me After 5 weeks of not being able to leave the house on my own and relaying on other to get me around I have finally bitten the apple and got on the bus. 5 weeks ago my independence was taken away from me and now I'm feeling better. I have got the bus on my own. travelled through the area where it happened and now I think I'm ready. Its not a massive achievement but its my bit of good news.
    Some people think I am unhappy. I'm not. I just approach silence in the world that never stops talking.
