I was feeling incredibly low, sometimes it crying was the only thing I could do to express the way I was feeling.
The way I was feeling was because of several factors. I was having a hard time at work and I would be crying before I went and after I left, feeling like I was just posing as someone who was good at their job and also being told by management that my department was failing because of one aspect of my role which I found incredibly hard.
I also had issues with the way I looked and my weight, feeling like I was not good enough and that I did not deserve to be liked. I felt like most people could not see past my weight and could not see that I was a kind, generous person at heart and that my weight does not define me.
I started my mental health care sessions whist at my lowest point, it has changed my life and I wish I had done it sooner. My therapist made me feel like I was the one in control and made me see my worth.
I am now able to challenge my thoughts so I do not think the worst is going to happen, I am starting to see my positive attributes and I am also taking more time for myself.
I could not of wished for a better outcome, everyone I know says I have changed, I have a more positive outlook on life and I feel like I can finally live my life without being scared of what might happen in the future.
