Hi @Former-Member So nice to hear that you are starting to 'get a grip' on things again. 

Yes THOSE sessions are extremely tough - I can't do it anymore (not for a while anyway) it is just too distressing for me and takes many days to start to pull myself up again - with a lot of help from my GP and my 'forum family'. 

I am actually doing quite well. It does seem like a weight has been lifted - I never imagined it would feel like that! But I do also know that there is still a long road ahead and it is not going to be easy.

The last few days have actually been quite good - I even got out into the garden today - I probably did a bit too much as I am really tired (a bit achy) and a little 'flat' right now but ok otherwise.

I like that description - the 3 Amigos - it has been a big week for all of us. I need to let you know this: reading your story (poem) is what gave me the courage to write mine. It really resonated with me and there were so many similarities with parts of my own 'story'. So thankyou again for having the courage to share your story. 

...and anytime you need to talk or want someone to listen - I'm here for you
