      This is a bit of a weird one for positive moments, but I think it counts. I have been going through a bad patch of depression, I think possibly trigged by a new medication. I have been feeling absolutely f*****g s**t. The positive to this, which I realised recently, is that my negative thoughts have not been centred on the abuse I experienced. The bad things I have been thinking about myself have not been based on the things that my abuser told me. It’s just common or garden depression. And that it weirdly reassuring. It feel like maybe I have turned a corner and my life is no longer defined by the abuse. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope that I can find a medication that does what I need from it without the depression element…

      Thanks. I have been to the doctor and am starting new meds in a week, once the old ones have had a chance to cleary system. So I am trying to be optimistic. Had my first flashback in ages last night, but I managed not to dwell and now can’t remember what is was about, so all in all it’s pretty good.
