Hello all

I thought I’d post a quick update.

I’m on day 16 and things are slowly getting better.  I’m now having to ‘do life’ more and more and in a way it’s doing me good – pretending to others that I’m okay (when I often feel anything but!).

I keep a journal and I’ve found  a good coping strategy is to read back on how I was this time last week. The improvement is immense although it  doesn’t always feel like it. I’m also coming to terms with the fact that I will always have to abstain… something I’ve never really accepted before.

Still struggling with low mood and poor motivation – can’t seem to see the good in anything and am oh so irritable. It also looks and feels like I’ve aged 20 years in 2 weeks!

Husky Lee, Bels and Tilly – hope you’re all doing okay.

Love to everyone ????
