    Think I'm depressed, not really in the mood to do anything. Struggling with my physical assessment for my application. 

    Feeling really sad and not interested in anything. Really want to sleep and don't have much motivation. 

    Don't have any mental health support right now for the first time really in years and I'm not sure what I want to do. 

    I'm getting advocacy from WhoCares?Scotland which I'm feeling positive about. It just doesn't feel like a massive win even though I know it should be.

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.

    Had someone blow up in my face for refusing to have sex. My no wasn't okay until I had given them a good enough reason.  You don't owe anyone an explanation for refusing sex. I've been called manipulative, attention-seeking, and selfish for doing so. 

    No means no.

    When things like this happen, talk to other people, let them know what's happened because people like that are so dangerous and manipulative. Had I not spoken to people I wouldn't have had the courage to stand up for myself the way I did.

    Four weeks and shingles is still breaking me. I can't deal with this anymore,

    The constant pain. My health. Just don't see the point anymore :(
    " And everywhere I am, there you'll be, your love made me make it through, oh I owe so much to you "
    " 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 "

    There are loads of fireworks outside although they should be banned at the moment (I think that they are allowed on 5th November, 31st December and a few other days in the year but other than that only at official firework displays which is definitely not what is happening.) It is really scary and one of my cats has been hiding under my sisters bed.

    My anxiety is so bad at the moment. the physical impact his horrible. This morning I threw up and then sat crying and shaking on the floor. I'm struggling to physically string a sentence together without tripping over my own words. The constant feeling of being punched in the stomach has become a normal sensation... 
    All this Anxiety over the thought of going back to work....

    have an appointment with my counsellor tomorrow. I think this will be my third or fourth session and I'm still really anxious whenever it's almost time for my appointment, and at this point idk if it's helping me yet.

    I get this everytime with any appointment. I used to always look forward to see counsellor as soon as the last one finished but weirdly enough felt super anxious before seeing her. I think it might be common and doesn’t mean it’s not help. It’s a big deal.

    Vertigo seems to play up in the evening. 

    They guy I'm talking to is really really good at reading me, I didn't expect to cry and its all because of how attentive he is. I actually haven't been able to cry for a ew days despite needing to. There's sn anniversary coming up and he knows about it but I don't feel like I want to talk about because I don't want to be sad. He's so lovely, sometimes it's a lot but I understand that he just very loving. 

    I don't want things to get too heavy, because I want our "relationship" to be fun and not so serious. I have to be able to cope and more so since comming off meds and being entirely out MH resources.

    Came to the realisation that I never get to the point where I think things are bad. I just sort of go through these periods of not being okay every now and again. 

    I thought that once uni was over I'd be able to leave my struggles in the past. It's not been like that at all 😅 most of all it's being unemployed and feeling lonely.
