It makes a huge difference, but it does sometimes take time to get used to the mask.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Yeah it’s not very comfortable at first but really does make a huge difference. I know for me I’d forgotten what a full 8hrs quality sleep felt like. I found my chest hurt for a couple of days when I first starting using it, probably cos everything was working properly for the first time in a long time so my lungs got a bit of a work out lol
A successful EMDR session this morning followed by a good swim and I've been lounging since as I'm out tonight.
I've been mulling over what a friend said to me last week.
She said, you need to walk away from therapy and get on with your life. Stop dragging up the past.
I know it came from a good place but how do I move on when I have flashbacks every day?
Anyway, I haven't come to a conclusion. I've been in therapy for years now, maybe I do just need to walk away but I'm scared what that might look like. Maybe I need to have more faith in myself.

What people don't understand is that therapy can mean any one of over 400 different modalities. Some forms won't work with some individuals, I'm terrible with pure CBT for example. But some forms are designed to work with specific issues, such as EMDR. EMDR could help you get on with your life, you won't know until you have had a significant number of sessions. If EMDR helps you gain control over the flashbacks then personally, I think it's worth continuing. You are better mentally when you have less flashbacks too. Only you can make the decision though.

You see that's what I think Jaq, so thank you for saying that, I've been doubting myself and my instincts

I had a lie in this morning after a busy day yesterday. I made a nice breakfast and I'm sipping my coffee deciding on the day ahead. It's one of those days when the sun is out but rain doesn't feel too far away.

It’s a bit windy round this way and forecast rain all afternoon. Think I’ll be taking the bus today cos I hate riding in the rain.
As I thought, once I was at the furthest distance from my house on my walk, it started to rain grr!!
Got a pile of ironing done though so the day has been productive
