      Woke up feeling great today, thought I’d play some music …yeah what a mistake!, I just broke down and cried, I love the old tunes …suffice to say I am ok again now but I can’t play any more at the moment …it was probably because the first song that came on was ‘band of gold’ by freya Payne ….feel so silly 🙁 x

      Hey Worrywart,
      It’s not being silly, you’re still in recovery so don’t be too hard on yourself.
      Have you tried taking your mind of things by doing housework or gardening? I did four hours gardening yesterday and just being outside was therapeutic. And no I’m not a keen gardener lol I hate it!
      Today I washed all the floors.
      If I didn’t I would just be going over and over things and what will that change? It will only make things seem worse.
      Big hug to you and keep going in the right direction x

      Hi Worrywort, I’m not long out of my relationship, finding it hard to listen to a lot of romantic music. It’s not silly at all. Ed Sheerans,Perfect was played at my Pilates class a few weeks ago, I couldn’t continue, sat up with the tears rolling down my face. This week I was singing to it. That’s been one of the few times I’ve cried a bit. I’ve not gave into it yet, Was watching the handmaids tale at the weekend and ended up bawling my eyes out when one of the handmaidens and the baby made it to Canada, sobbing like a baby. I’m colouring in, tidying constantly, going to exercise classes, bought wool and a new pattern, still to start, but I’m ready. Distract, distract, distract. One day you’ll play you’re old favourites and there’ll still be sadness, but hopefully it won’t be just so raw.
      Best wishes IWMB 💕💕
