    It doesn't help that I'm exhausted. I feel like I'm wading through treacle this morning

    Is it your last through choice?
    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.

    It was only meant to be a mid-length course and actually as I said to her today I feel stronger than I ever have regarding the trauma. I now feel I've been able to reclaim some of my power and I'm healing the little things (like being given lego just for me) and invalidation from my Mum... All these little things like having permission to say "no" when people try to hug me who I don't want to etc.. So many really simple things that I wouldn't have put together on my own...

    Thank you, I've tried to be open and honest throughout it and allowed myself the time and space to work through things that we've talked about over the week before I saw her next. She is amazing, such a warm and lovely lady, someone I really gelled with. So it's been really good. I'm not "cured" and there will still be things like flashbacks etc, but I now have lots of coping strategies which have been really positive for me.

    Thank you.

    How are you all doing today? What's going on? What's the weather like?

    It's freezing cold here today! Today is a definite rest day for me, so I'm going to stay on the sofa, watching stuff on tv, writing a piece that I've been asked to and working on several crochet projects!
