GOOD TIME 

GREAT EVENING

THANK YOU

Last night was the first time I have been out socially with my friends in well over 12 months!

Whilst I was so ill with depression, it became impossible for me to speak in company. If I did push myself to go and join in I would feel exhausted & exposed when arriving home. 

I struggled with his dreadful feeling for along time. 

I used my year of social silence really to withdraw from my friends completely. It was something vitally important for my recovery to begin. All part of my journey I think?

Thankfully my friends have stuck it out with me, letting me know they were always there to talk to whenever I needed to. 

It was a great pleasure to look forward to being with them last night. I felt good & I needed to remind myself throughout the evening of some powerful words to ground myself & allow me to connect, be brave, not be ashamed of who I am. I am learning that my vunerability can enable me to gain more courage to deal with life. I felt worthy of a place round the table at last! It was very special experience for me & yet another step forward.

A huge hug & thanks to my lovely friends for being patient with me for a long long time.
