Scared because I’m here
Empty because I’m overwhelmed
Silence on the outside rage and desperation the inside 
My body is a void
My body is my enemy
I can’t feel this alone anymore

    Sending you hugs @NatalieMT <3

    It's been a while since you posted this, how is everything going? 

    Remember we're all here for you <3
    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 ❤

    Hi

    Have not been great.

    I can’t say it all here. I am, have a lot of anxiety. I have been seeing Kim at my counselling sessions with the mix and have informed by GP about this, have been seeing MHCT but I can’t say why, scared that I’ll be judged not just as me but as a mother, had a breakdown. The sessions with Kim do and are helping, just feel alone, starting to iscolate myself mainly because I’m scared to say what is going on.

    I want to talk, my head is full of scary thoughts for me personally, just finding it difficult to trust and feeling paranoid.

    Thank you for hearing me that does mean a lot to me and for caring.

    Natalie 

    PS I’ll send a hug for you, your a safe person to me

    Hey Natalie,

    Sending hugs, it sounds like your struggling, it's really positive that you've been having counselling and have talked to your GP about things, :heart:

    Feeling paranoid isn't nice but this feeling can pass, and you can be okay again. It may just take time, it does sound positive that your reaching out for support, 

    Remember we are always here for you too.

    :heart:

    Hey Natalie. 

    Is great youre getting support and no one will judge you for that. It shows you are taking good care of your self which you need to do to help look after your daughter. 

    We are here for you when/if you feel like speaking about more of whats going on. 

    “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

    Hey @NatalieMT

    I just wanted to echo what Stephanie and Shaunie have both said and say that we're here for you. We all really care about you here and won't judge you for anything you share. We'll always support you through anything <3

    I'm really glad to hear your counselling sessions at The Mix are helping. You're doing really well Natalie :) 

    Hope you're feeling a little better today :)
