      I feel so low, I feel dreadful. I’m going to tell someone else my biggest secrets. It feels like a big step going forward I need to let it go but I’m worried, so worried about doing it 😭 I feel worthless already Im trying not to dwell on morbid thoughts because they’re there constantly in my mind. I’m feeling so sorry for myself. I’m just really worried about what’s to come

      Try to picture a positive image of after telling your secret. Imagine how it will feel to get it off your chest. How light you will feel. It’s often our own catastrophising that makes it a hundred times worse x

      I find writing a gratitude list or counting my blessings helps me when feeling anxious, depressed, low or fearful. I read somewhere that it’s impossible to feel anxious and grateful at the same time. It’s hard to get started on the gratitude list when feeling low but it does get easier with practice. And it works for me to lift the awful feeling I’m feeling.

      Therapy has closed due to the virus and depending on how long it all takes to blow over her contract will be ended. We can speak on the phone. I don’t know whether to WhatsApp her the pieces of paper or just forget it 🤮

      Whatsapp her. You can do this. You have survived everything up to this point x
