"I have regained my confidence"

My confidence was at an all time low. I felt everyone was taking advantage of me and I was being left out of my own life.

From my first telephone consultation, I felt like someone else was thinking of me and how to help me. Indeed, she was and I talked to her a few times while waiting for my therapy to start. At my first appointment she put me straight at ease. She explained how DIT worked and for the next four weeks we worked through some issues from my past and I found myself telling her thigs I had kept to myself for over 30 years. I also found myself asking questions of my elder sister to get a different view of our childhood (we had always been close and it brought us even closer).

My therapy lasted for 5 months. It was hard at times but I always felt when it was my sessions I was the most important person in my life.

I have regained my confidence, I am able to say No to people when I need to. I am the lovely, happy, positive person that has always been inside me, just now I show it to the world with pride.

My friends always called me an eco warrior, now I call myself a professional hippie.

Help is out there, all you have to do is ask. We are all warriors. We are all strong. Good mental health is a right not a privilege. We are strongest with a team who love us and your team is family and friends and you always have room for another person to join Team You. So make the call, ask for help because you are worth it.
