"I’ve come a long way from where I was"

 I struggle with really low mood and anxiety I really had a hard time with a lot of things, I lost a lot of friends when I was struggling so I felt really alone. 

I really hated myself at that time to the point where I didn’t even want anyone to look at me , I was ashamed that I couldn’t go out and do things like everyone else without feeling totally overwhelmed, honestly I was really skeptical about starting therapy I felt it wouldn’t help but I met a nurse who changed the way I thought.

She would see me multiple times a week if she had to, to keep me safe. For the first time in a long time I felt seen. Meeting her helped me meet parts of my old self again I forgot even existed. When I was on an all time low she sat with me and listened no matter how long our sessions were she sat and listened to me. She helped me realise that mental health isn’t a personal failure. Although my struggles are ongoing I know I’ve come a long way from where I was I am changing for the better. I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for the support I got. 

Thank you for making me feel less alone in the world
