    My friends, was looking for a lift up to my dad's Christmas as no buses.. wasn't going to ask my 2 best friends as they've both had kids this year and thought they would want a quiet first Christmas, well they've both offered to drive me and mam up, despite it being a 100 mile round trip 😊

    “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

    Being free 👌 came up on my time hop that I lasted 3 days in society before getting re-sectioned.. Bitch its now been over a year since my last psychiatric admission 💃💃 with thanks to my current psychiatrist who probably should of sectioned me on a few occasions but knows it isn't helpful ✌️😂

    I'm grateful to be living in a house full of lovely animals that give me cuddles whenever I'm feeling down. Pet therapy is the best!

    My Dr at the hospital, while we were waiting for my bloods to come back we had a chat about my mental health (seen him numerous times before for mental health) and I told him about the death threats and straight away he asked for my permission to phone the police 👌

    . My friends have been so amazing recently lots of lovely support, so many I haven't been able to get through all the messages yet. I've been very open about the past couple months and how bad it's been mentally and people have been so accepting and supportive and giving me time and arranging to meet with me so I'm not on my own. I'm so greatful for these people around me..
    I'm excited to meet a group of these friends in London over half term so I can buy them all something to show how greatful I am of how much they have helped me the past couple months

    Yesterday I was grateful for the substitute teacher I had, my student support officer and the school counsellor.

    Today I am grateful for everyone at gymnastics.

    A LSA said to me during the week they was so proud of how far I’ve come since September in terms of how I’m managing things and how much more confident I’ve become .... I’ve been working on trying to be abit more confident but never realised how far I had actually come 🥺

    My fav paramedic (she's seen me in and out of hospital for the last 6 years) 😁 I was outside the hospital having a full blown panic attack about the thought of walking into the building and she saw me, came over and calmed me down enough to go in 😁
