Diary of a book addict

[OldMike]

I felt like an absolute tit when I volunteered. No one else wanted to do it and the woman next to me asked me to volunteer so I did then immediately kicked myself!!! I started talking about feeling overwhelmed with everything that I have on but what came out is I'm scared of my ADs stopping working and being as ill as I was, and also that I have this little voice in my head that constantly tells me I'm not good enough and that has been there since I was a child. It made me realise a few things and I even got a round of applause at the end and everyone telling me I was brilliant and really brave. I'm not used to feedback like that.

You did brilliantly there Jaq, I'm very proud of you.

Perhaps now you'll start to believe what the rest of us have been saying for years.
