    I spoke to my manager about the fact I'm not coping well with full days, so she's going to ask head office about reducing my hours for a month or two 😁😁 don't know if it will be possible since I'm on a contract but at least I asked 😊

    Today I actually remembered that the uniform policy for my volunteering does not count when there is a meeting  (I volunteer at my gymnastics club along with about 20 other young people- we all do different days and times and we all have to wear a specific blue t-shirt with the club logo when volunteering due to safeguarding reasons.)

    “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

    Spoke to a jewellery company about them making a mental health awareness charm for their bracelets and the idea was passed on to the design department and hopefully I can help with the creation!

    Completed my first real exam of the year with minimal anxiety and stress .... I really have come along way with sitting exams and I managed to answer all the questions on the paper

    edited February 2020
    A year ago today I posted about my trauma for the first time on social media. The support i  received was incredible, the same this year. One comment still rings true 'they may have tried to break me but I will show them how enormously they failed.' and that's what I'm doing. I may still struggle with nightmares and flashbacks and voices but the biggest thing I can do right now is to just live. This time last year I had 3 hospital admissions in 3 weeks, now I am over 3 months admission free, yes I still have bad days, and horrendous days, but I refuse to let them take anymore of my life from me. #sexualabuseandsexualviolenceawarenessweek

    I recently got myself an iPad and I love it but even better last night I found that I could dictate my assignment straight onto a word document and I actually wanted to cry . I have always found verbalising what I want to say easier than trying to write it down and now a section on my assignment that Normally takes me an hour because of having to try and work out how to word  it And correct spellings etc took me 15 minutes

    I am proud cause doing some shopping on amazon and got a gift card from my sister for Christmas but I don't have the heart to use it on destructive things cause I know that's not what she wants and feel guilty/bad doing that, so instead ordering the 365 days of self care journal for me :)
    as much as my brain wants to use it for destructive things, I am stronger than that devil on my shoulder and today im slapping it right in the face!
