    I made communication cards.

    Someone sugested using them a while ago but i felt embarassed and shot the idea down.

    Theres been a few times where people who dont know me that well have tried to help but i couldnt comunicate what i needed or sometimes tell them i just needed space.

    So i finally pushed aside my insecurities about this, did my research and made some cards.
    Im still struggling with it but making the cards is progress even if i dont use them.
    You're awesome!

    I actually put some clothes on today rather than just hanging about in my pyjamas.

    @Dancer - As much as PJS are fabulous, it can make us feel better sometimes can't it to get dressed properly. How did you feel when you put some clothes on, rather than some PJS? :)

    @Amy22 - It sounds like you are doing such a good job at starting to work on your final project. How are you feeling about your final project at the moment? :)

    You have a whole term for that @Amy22, and only 3 days' holiday. I know it is harder to see that when you are a student and you have that pressure on your shoulders but I am glad you are feeling okay :)

    We are really proud of you @Past User. Opening up the curtains can be really difficult when you are in a difficult and dark place! <3

    Okay so this may not seem like much but today I managed not to feel too bad about myself, like I could actually look at my own reflection for once

    Went to the hair dressers for first time today. Got my hair shorter because of damaged hair
    “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

    @Siobhan - How are you feeling about going to the hairdresser and having your hair shorter? :)

    I started to draw again for a animatic I am doing my college project. I used to copy drawings and I ended becoming stressed cause of the mistakes I made from doing it. I decided to give myself a second chance at drawing and it felt nice actually to get back into it.

    In my Performance lesson, we were using a stretchy elastic thing as part of our group piece. The teacher said that I didn't have to do the part of wrapping myself in it if I don't feel comfortable as she could see how anxious I was but instead I actually joined in with it.
