Thank-you ladies for your lovely comments.
I went in person to college today, for the first time in months. It was so lovely to connect properly with people again.
We had a talk by a guy who took my level 2 counselling course. I have never forgotten how great he was when B left, and I took him a highland cow as a thank-you gift. He spoke to us about mental health for 30 minutes and it really struck a chord with me, reminding me about the journey I am on.
I talked a bit to the tutors about level 3 and it feels as if there is now a way forward career wise. The guy who was from the counselling dept. said that we can’t climb the whole mountain in one go, you have to do one bit at a time. He is right, I mustn’t be inpatient with myself about the future. Pen and I have each other now and other life changes will happen when they happen.
In other news, I have started doing some art and crochet again and the swimming pool opens soon! Whoop! X
