    My suicidal thoughts have been so much less since starting this training. 

    It is the most hardest and overwhelming thing I've done. But honestly like therapy as well as education 
    Learning so much and hearing so much about other people's mental health on the course too. That it is very inspiring  
    as well as just learning about mental health and the self awareness of that and a lot about identify and who we are despite mental illness which I think is great.  
    And I guess it's been something to think about and focus instead or dying 
    “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

    Just been with my sister to her Scan and I nearly cried the photo was so adorable the little one had its thumb in its mouth and was sucking it and even though she’s only 13+3 saw it’s little fingers and toes and everything

    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 ❤

    So I have been practising what I've learnt in training on the 7 cups website on my listener account. And trying to do everything I've learnt even tho it does feel bit like a robot when trying to make people think for themselves & be independent rather than give too much advice which am usually used to. But few actually went pretty well and trying to get used to it as much as can

    Appointment yesterday went really well, was dreading it but saw a lovely locum Dr who couldn't do enough to help. Got some more prn which will help on nights I'm struggling and she's trusting me with painkillers and anti sickness for going away so won't be in pain/spewing for my holiday! 😁😁

    Going to go to see my student support officer today about my ppe teacher as the homework she gave is stressing me out- 6 pages of research about endangered species by Thursday. Hopefully he can either speak to my teacher and get her to give me extra time or let me miss the lesson. I don't want to go to her lesson on Thursday. At least I only have 1 more lesson with her this half term and then 7 lessons after half term  (1 a week.) That is too many.

    My mum has finally realised that I am 13 and not 9 years old anymore. She is letting me do the 5 mile journey from the train station back home on the 27th June after a STEM event at a college about 11 miles away from me- I am going by train with some friends and teachers for the 1st 6 miles. I can finally get the independence I need.

Clearly did if can replied back now aha.. Anyway she said i am still on top of the list she just needs to ring me to ask how the initial assessment went.

    I went on a walk for once. And it was a long one. Nothing huge, but given how I hadn't been out for weeks, you know :/

    I enjoyed some chocolate after some good physio and helping my mum. It is always good to treat yourself (within reason of course ;)  :p )
