This piece of writing contains some of what I am privileged to know of you. Describes your thoughts and feelings and thoughts regarding those around you. I am glad you are now having psychology appointments and hope you are able to extract positive help from them. Your interaction with the family is delightful.
It saddens me when I read of your childhood trauma. My childhood was, on the whole, happy.
For the last few days, maybe weeks, I've been dipping in and out of certainty / uncertainty. For so long, maybe years, I've been very sure of what I want to do, no hesitation, pure conviction, positive direction. This is not quite the case today. These past few months have seen dramatic changes for me both mentally and physically, and now I'm a bit wobbly both mentally and physically! I think my best course of action is to accept this, be patient, be hopeful.
Thank you Sandie, it is horrible when certainties become insecure and stability fluctuates. I hope you are ok and it doesn't get too bad. Good luck with the acceptance. If you want a natter soon do let me know.
Another amazing piece of writing that somehow manages to blend the wonderful and the less so together in a beautiful way. I think your comments re the SMHAF are very apt. The theme this year needs to address the 'disturb' part, and not just the comfort even though I totally understand the need tone comforted. Perhaps it is less about addressing our own discomfort and more about making complacent people who would rather forget that mental health is a huge issue, sit up and take notice. Disturb their complacency.

Thank you so much. Much to my embarrassment i can’t remember if we have nattered since you got home from holiday - if not, would you like to?
